Employee ID No. is saved as x001 on entering 0001 in QuickBooks Online Plus

I'm happy to see you again here in the Community forum, Abdul Rehman.

When entering personal information of your employee like the ID No., QuickBooks will only display the last three-digit number. We value the security and privacy of your account. This is the reason QuickBooks will not display the whole ID No.

If you need tips in the future, visit our QuickBooks Help Articles site. 

You can get back to me anytime you have additional questions in QuickBooks by posting your response below. I'll do whatever it takes to ensure your concerns are addressed. 

Hi Mirriam,

I do agree with you. But how user will be able to see complete code/digits if required to review? Because the report 'Employee Contact List' is also reflecting the last three digits? Kindly also confirm if you are not getting my point of view?

Abdul Rehman.

Hello there, @ Abdul Rehman.

The information provided by my colleague above is correct. We put up high regard for the security and privacy of your account. This is the reason QuickBooks will not represent the whole ID No.

Once you entered the employee's EIN in QuickBooks Online ROW, it will crash out and replace from character and it will only display the last three digit number.

Also, you can always visit our  QuickBooks Help Articles  page for QuickBooks Online to learn some tips.

Please reply to this post by adding some details below if you need anything else. I'm here to help.

Hi Grace,

Means numbers more that 3 digits will be crashed and user will not be able to trace that. Then how user will record the employee id no if it consist upon 3+ characters?

Abdul Rehman.

Thanks for getting back to us, @Abdul Rehman.

I'd suggest making a copy of your Employee ID No. (EIN) before entering it in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) for personal reference. That way, you'll know the EIN when you want to view it.

However, if you've already entered it in your QBO, I recommend reaching out to our support team. They have the tools to look into your account and can further assist you in viewing your EIN. Here's how to reach them.

In your QBO:

1. Click the Help (?) icon.
2. Click Contact us.
3. Enter a brief discussion of your concern and click Let's talk.
4. Then choose your preferred way to get in touch with them.

As always, feel free to visit our Help articles page in case you want to learn some tips on managing your QBO account.
