Hi there tempestsolutions,

 

Thanks for reaching out about entering your address. QuickBooks Online is a great tool able to help you keep track of sales and expenses so that your books can be accurate. I can provide some information about entering an address.

 

When entering an address, if you get an error that the postal code doesn't match the address. The first step to try would be to copy and paste the address directly out of the Find a postal code toll on the Canada Post website. if the error persists, then the second step recommended would be to do the same with how the address shows up on Google Maps. Sometimes subtle differences in the spelling, capitalization and abbreviations can cause the error matching the address to the postal code.

 

If you need any further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.

Hi there,

I'm also having this issue and have followed the instructions above and keep getting the same error. It'd be nice if QBO had the autofill directly from Canada Post if it has this odd requirement that doesn't seem to work. Any additional assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi pampamarca1,

 

Thanks for joining us here.  When it comes to your Company address and Billing information, you'll want to make sure to enter the address in QuickBooks exactly as it appears on your payment method.  You'll also want to make sure there are no special characters or symbols (such as @ or *) in your billing address.  Special characters will cause errors.  In addition, make sure every field on the payment method screen is filled in, including the Postal code.

 

If the issue persists, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team at 1-855-253-1536 from Monday to Friday between the hours of 9 AM and 8 PM EST. They'll have the ability to work with you in real-time and ensure you're able to accomplish your QuickBooks goals as soon as possible!

If your company is located in CA, make sure you have QBO CA version, not US version.
