Unfortunately, I've had the same experience as @Laura in RVA. I added Intuit as a third party agent in December and Beacon has been showing the POA status as active since then. QBO support has told me this means I'm all set — but my QBO account still shows "action required" and "file manually."

I did receive one piece of potentially helpful info from QBO support. After hours on hold, I was told that this is a new requirement from Maryland, so QBO doesn't have experience with the process and there may be delays as they sort it out. Two months seems like a long time, but at least it's a potential explanation. @KayePe have you heard anything about this specifically?

Also, just yesterday I received the following email from QBO: "We contacted the MD Division of Unemployment Insurance to verify your state tax rate. The State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate that they provided for the 2024 tax year is XXX. We'll use this rate to calculate your tax." So hopefully this is a sign of progress.

@Laura in RVA when did you add Intuit as a third party agent in Beacon? And will you please keep me posted if you learn anything or have progress on your end? Thank you!
