QBO continues to create a problem for new employers in Louisiana. In Louisiana, employers can NOT get a State Unemployment Insurance account UNTIL they have paid employees for 20 consecutive weeks in a single calendar year. They are not subject to SUI during this 20-week time period. QBO requires both an account number and rate and begins accruing that tax liability regardless. When QBO attempts to file--they get errors. This error triggers problems with e-file and gets the account really messed up. Then after 20 weeks when the employer is required to get an account for SUI and begin paying, entering the new number and rate in QBO causes efile services to be turned off while the system updates--and we have employers who have been seeing a PENDING approval notice with a 24 hr eta for weeks without any resolution. I would love to talk with anyone who has resolved this issue: [removed] Leann
