Hello I am setting up my QB Payroll and it is asking for my arizona tax #. For AZ it is the exact same 9 digits as our federal EIN (example 86-1234567). however QB won't accept it as it says it has to be in this format 1234567 9 the eighth character has to be blank which doesn't work for a valid number. Anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thanks

Let me help and make sure we get you back on track., cheesenips.

 

To isolate this issue, we can perform some troubleshooting steps and check if there are any underlying browser issues.

We can start by accessing your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account in a private or incognito window and enter the state tax ID number form there. Use these keyboard shortcuts below to open one:

 

  • For Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Google Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N 
  • For Safari (Mac), press Command + Shift + N

 

If you're able to put the state tax ID number when using a private window, then that's good. We can go back to your regular browsing window and clear it's cache. This process will remove outdated temporary internet files and optimize your browser performance.

 

You may also use other supported browser for the best and smooth experience when using QuickBooks Online.

Thank you but this doesn't fix it. The problem is how intuit has it coded. It will NOT allow anything that is 9 digits long. See screenshot

Yeah, that makes two of us. 

 

It's hard to believe QuickBooks would have such a large problem on their platform. 

 

Arizona's TIN has been the same as the EIN for years now.

I'm having the same issue. It looks to be a problem on the Quickbooks side of things. If you find a solution please let me know.

You've probably already fixed this, but Arizona's formatting doesn't allow for a space or dash in the number. While the federal number may be 12-3456789, to enter in the AZ form it needs to be "[removed]." The only other tax number required in Arizona is the Unemployment tax number, issued by DES, the Department of Economic Security. https://des.az.gov/
