Question

Isn't the address on the W-4 form supposed to be for receiving tax forms in the mail?

Our local communities only receive mail (tax forms, paychecks) through PO boxes. QB only accepts physical addresses when entering in the personal info and W-4 info. Why is this?

Hello, jvulcano2.

 

I'll share some information about the address field.

 

For now, we're unable to offer the option to have a P.O Box address in the W-4 page. Entering the information will give you an error "Address can't have a P.O. box". This is a default reminder that QuickBooks accepts only a physical address. 

 

You'll want to check the Ask this employee to enter their personal, tax (2020 W-4), and banking info with QuickBooks Workforce box. This will send an invite to your employee, so they can enter their W-4 information. Your employee might be able provide a physical address. 

 

Here's a sample screenshot of what the option looks like when adding an employee:
