Question

I already added Intuit as a third party agent with MD UI Fund, but QB is still saying this action is needed. Will this auto update or do I need to do something else?

In QB Payroll Online, my account says "We need more info to pay and file your taxes." It shows that there is still a required action — adding Inutit as a Third Party Agent with the Maryland Unemployment Insurance Fund. But I already followed QB's instructions and successfully added Intuit in my account with the MD UI Fund. How do I indicate this in QB, so that it will automatically file my payroll taxes before the end of the month deadline? Thanks!

Allow me to share some details about this, @DILW

 

The message "We need more info to pay and file your taxes" might mean the Power of Attorney Authorization (POA) form isn't uploaded into BEACON. With that, we can ensure that we have completed this process.  

 

Also, assigning QuickBooks as a third-party agent will require approval from the agency staff of Maryland. Once approved, the POA status will change to Active, and QuickBooks Payroll can act on your behalf.

Thanks Erika! I did upload the POA form into Beacon and the status already says Active. Is there a lag until QB gets this info?

On behalf of my colleague, you’re most welcome, @DILW . I’m here to address this query so you can make sure we can pay and file unemployment taxes for you.

 

There shouldn't be a lag once the POA status is marked as active. Since it’s already approved, QuickBooks can start taking action as long as your payroll information is complete and ready for filing.

 

Furthermore, it might be worth reaching out to our payroll support to verify the synced information. Our team can confirm it for you.
