QBTIP: It's easy to add company files to your payroll subscription
It's easy to add company files to your payroll subscription without calling customer service. This gives you near 7x24 access with no need to wait on hold and no need to transcribe long numbers.
For Basic and Enhanced Payroll: You can add additional company files to your subscription and you can change the EIN in a payroll file, if needed. If you just plow ahead it will work and is easy to do.
Adding a file: When you have a new file you want to add to payroll, just try to use a payroll feature or choose the option on the Employee menu to add the file to your subscription. Choose Employees | Payroll | Use my existing payroll service. A few clicks later it's done.
(If the option is not there, it is because you need to do this from a machine where you already have an existing service.)
Changing an EIN: Similarly, if you need to change the EIN in a subscribed file, just do that from the Company menu and then try to use a payroll feature. You will be prompted to re-add the file to your subscription.
