A client of our has asked us to take over the filing and paying of all their payroll (They have their own payroll subscription, run the payroll and then send us the file pay / file). They have QB Enterprise 20.0. I am opening it on my system with our version of Enterprise Accountant 20.0.

RE: I file as reporting agent for about 40 clients using QB Desktop so I'm familiar with the process. I have just never used it with QB Enterprise before and can't figure out why the reporting agent option is not available to me.

The issue is likely because Desktop Pro/Premier and Enterprise are two different programs. When you open a client's file and create payroll from with it, you will see the special Reporting Agent interface because you have an active Enhanced Payroll for Accountants subscription.

In turn, QuickBooks knows you have such as subscription because you have opened your company file and validated payroll using that version, and then information related to your subscription is saved on your computer associated with that QuickBooks version.

Because Enterprise is a different software version, it will only know about your Account subscription if you open a company file that has your your Enhanced Payroll for Accountants and then validate payroll. Until you do that, when using the client's file only the things that are included with the client's subscription will appear.

So, to get the Reporting Agent features to appear, open a copy of your subscribed company file in Enterprise and validate your payroll subscription there. Then close the file and open the client's file and then you should see the features that are inherited from your Accountant Payroll subscription. (You may need to restart QuickBooks, but probably not.)

I have done the Payroll Updates for the latest tax table. The 8655 has already been completed and sent. I file as reporting agent for about 40 clients using QB Desktop so I'm familiar with the process. I have just never used it with QB Enterprise before and can't figure out why the reporting agent option is not available to me.

Since you've already completed your IRS Form 8655 and all other necessary steps to e-File payroll tax forms as a Reporting Agent, but don't see it as an available option, I'd recommend getting in touch with the IRS directly to verify if everything's in order on their end.

In the event they confirm you're already an established Reporting Agent, please update me here. If you need to submit a new application, you can find detailed steps for doing so in our E-file tax returns for clients article.

The IRS has nothing to do with the option being available in QuickBooks. In the Company screen, when I go to auto fill for the forms. I can check the "reporting agent" box but all the fields are blank. When I go to file forms in payroll, there is no reporting agent forms. As I stated it works fine in my Desktop version. I must be missing a setting in Enterprise, can anyone help me out with this?

I see that you've been reporting on behalf of your clients. At this point, it's best to contact our QB Desktop Payroll support to check this further. They can use more tools to gather more data and investigate this.

Why would you send the OP to do this? There's nothing wrong. QuickBooks is behaving exactly as it's designed to. It's been just like this for over a decade. I don't know why I know that and you don't...

Yes, you're right that QuickBooks is behaving exactly as it's designed to. However, we sometimes send our customers (i.e., OP) to contact our Customer Care team to further investigate their concerns. The Community is a public forum, and we're unable to pull up their account to check.

Doing that while not first describing to the customer that QuickBooks is working right and what to do to fix it (no account information is needed to do that) is just a waste of time for the customer. Regarding this particular post, there is no need to investigate anything.

To check what? In any case, account information does not matter in this case. It is clear enough that the OP has an Accountant subscription and uses it with their client's files locally, and also why it's not working with Enterprise, based on the original description of the issue. There is no need for any sort of clarification or account information in order to answer the question.

I also thought my question and was pretty clear ans that it had to be a simple answer l was just missing something never having used enterprise for payroll. Your explanation was very clear. Thank you.

Do you really not understand what they are asking? You are of no help. THE OPTION TO FILE A REPORTING AGENT 941 IS NOT SHOWING UP IN THE QUICKBOOKS FILE. It literally has nothing to do with the IRS. I am having the same issue, and I am a reporting agent currently for many clients.

The option will appear only after you have validated your Enhanced Payroll for Accountant's payroll subscription using the version of QuickBooks you're using. If you have not, open your subscribed company file using the current QuickBooks version (or a copy of it) and validate it by getting payroll updates.

We have several clients now that QB has steered towards purchasing QB Enterprise versions and are running into the same problem not being able to provide the service to E-File payroll tax forms because the 2023 Enterprise versions don't offer the Reporting Agent version of tax reports. Not sure why you would have designed a program like Enterprise that wouldn't talk or be compatable with the Premier Accountant version so that businesses can share their info with ease and allow the tax professionals the ability to seemlessly provide e-file services without going through extra hoops.

I appreciate your response to this inquiry as it's one I'm currently facing. This fix did not work for me, and I think it's that our Enterprise client is using their own QB payroll subscription, which shows as QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll, rather than our firm's subscription showing as "QB Enhanced Payroll for Accountants" in the other file copy that I upgraded to QB Enterprise as per your instructions. Since this client is signed up for direct deposit, I cannot remove the existing payroll subscription under Manage Service Key and replace it with my firm's subscription. I'll have to call QB for that. Any other ideas in these circumstances? I restore a QB Enterprise backup from the client every two weeks for payroll processing as they are working in a live file continuously.

We'd like to know if you receive an error message when removing the existing payroll subscription under Manage Service Key and replacing it with your firm's subscription. Any additional details or screenshots will be greatly appreciated, as they will assist us in identifying the root cause of the issue and providing you with the correct information.

Moreover, you may add your client's company to your payroll subscription. Replace the service key from Enhanced to Enhanced for Accountant in the Add to Subscription Number field. Check out this reference for detailed instructions: Add a new company to your payroll subscription.

As mentioned by BigRedConsulting, to access the option, you'll need to validate your Enhanced Payroll for Accountant's payroll subscription using the version of QuickBooks you're currently using. In case you haven't done so, you can open your subscribed company file with the current version of QuickBooks (or a copy of it) and validate it by getting the latest payroll updates. Once you've done that, the option will become available to you.

I am hoping you could help me. I am an accountant working on year-end payroll reports. I, like the other users, have always used the reporting agent reports, without issue. I have just downloaded QB 2024 and each client I have tried does not have this feature nor is it available under payroll set up. I understand your reasoning from prior posts, and it makes sense. However, I am not quite sure I understand the process you gave to fix the problem, i.e. the "subscriber" log in... Could you please help solve this issue?

In turn, QuickBooks knows you have such as subscription because you have opened your company file - the one containing your subscription information - and validated payroll. When you do that, your subscription is saved on your computer associated with your new QuickBooks 2024 version.

So, to get the Reporting Agent features to appear, open your subscribed company file in 2024 and validate your payroll subscription. Then close the file and open a client's file and then you should see the features that are inherited from your Accountant Payroll subscription.
