Unsuccessful attempt to upload XML file with 2024 T4 slips

I'm having trouble filing T4 slips for 2024. I get error message that my repID number doesn't match what is in the XML file. No idea how my redID number would be in a file that comes from QB. Also have had error message that says the transmitter CRA account number in the XML file doesn't match what I used to sign in.

Any ideas?  I've tried more than one of my clients, so it isn't an issue with a particular data file.

I am having the same problem.  There is nowhere in QBD in enter a Rep ID.  Not sure if it's a CRA problem or QBD, both of whom are impossible to get on the phone for any assistance.

I tried again yesterday but with no luck.  This notification came up here in the QB Community.  Hopefully, resolved soon.  What a pain. :

 

Some customers may be experiencing Canada Rev Agency error: invalid characters in entry names on their T4 XML. We are working with Canada Rev Agency to resolve the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Any progress on this? I can amend the XML file in notepad but not sure what/how to enter.

I am also having trouble but it says 'the transmitter CRA account number given in the attached T619 electronic transmittal record does not match the account number you used to sign in'.  I called CRA and they said my software (QuickBooks) should be updated so I can enter my account number as MM555555 is no longer accepted (nor is 00000).  But there is nowhere to update this information.  Is there an update coming?

I am having the same error message when trying to upload XML file. I talked to Quickbooks support 2 weeks ago and its and issue on their end and they are working on it. They said the will notify everyone once its resolved.

 

Error: We are unable to process your submission because we did not detect a T619 electronic transmittal record.

I have followed the latest updates on QBO post and I am getting the following error when I try to submit the XML through Represent a Client:
"Missing mandatory field on the summary - Filer Name".

Has anyone got this error yet? How do I fix this?

Please go to Payroll Settings>Federal TAX> Add REP ID 

Download the XTML file gain and submit to CRA. This should work.

 

Hope this Helps. 

Have a good one.
