Can I set up MTD on the mobile app

Hello, adrian-j-hurst-b. Allow me to help you further and get this working for you so you can set-up successfully the MTD using the mobile app.

To make sure you can easily navigate and enter the information when you open it in the mobile app, let's first set it up in the QuickBooks browser. Here is how it works.

Let's enable the MTD and then, you'll have to authorise QuickBooks first to interact with HMRC. 

1. Click on the Gear icon, then Account and Settings.
2. Go to Advanced on the left menu in the Accounts and Settings page, then select the Making Tax Digital header to expand the section.
3. Click on Learn how to connect, then click on Let's go on the Get started with digital tax page.

Once MTD has been enabled in QuickBooks. Follow the steps below:

1. After clicking on Let's go, you'll be directed to HMRC page as shown below. Click Continue to sign in.
2. Enter your HMRC credentials to sign in.
3. Click on Grant authority to continue. The authorisation process will begin.

Then, you will receive a 'You're connected to HMRC' message as below. Click Continue. When the process has been completed, click on Take a look.
