Here is a screenshot. 

The email address I used to sign her up for payroll is the same address she uses to sign into Turbo Tax.

Thank you for your prompt response and for providing a screenshot, @info1949.

 

Allow me to offer some troubleshooting steps to address the issue and assist your employee in signing into their account.

 

First, let's double-check your employee's email address and make sure it is correct in the Employee Center. If you already did this and he's still getting the same results, kindly ask him to access their account in a private browsing window. This will help us determine if the problem is related to cached data and resolve it.

 

Here's how to access incognito mode:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox ).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 

If it works, your employee can further improve the situation by clearing their browser's cache, which will remove temporarily stored files and free up space. Additionally, they may want to try using other supported, up-to-date browsers for a more comprehensive test.

 

If the issue persists, I'd suggest getting in touch with our phone support. They can conduct a thorough review of your employee's account and provide the necessary assistance to ensure they can successfully sign in to QuickBooks Workforce.
