As soon as you get their application, check what they entered against their Social Security card, which you are required to confirm.

 

If you didn't do that, or you entered the SSN wrong for other reasons, then edit the employee and change the SSN.

Pleased to have you here, @jw01.

 

@197905 is correct! Allow me to share additional information on how you can update your employees social security number.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to Employees.
  2. Choose Employee Center.
  3. Look for the employee information you want to edit.
  4. Under Personal Information tab, change the Social Security Number.
  5. Click Ok.

Same question but for Intuit online payroll. Will changing the SS# be enough, since it happened over the previous quarter (3rd)  and the new one (4th), but I have not filed the returns for the previous 3rd quarter yet.

Will there be no issues in general and is it enough to change the SS# in Intuit online payroll?
