Your sentiments are valid, and I hear you, @chadmac. I want to ensure that you'll be able to have accurate information on the DE-9C form you need to file.
Please know that the data on the filed forms are based on the information you've entered in QuickBooks Desktop. It includes entering your employee's SSN to avoid errors.
If your employee doesn't have an SSN, we can enter all zeros for Social Security Numbers (SSN). This is a new update released by Intuit as of January 18, 2024.
Just make sure you're using the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop and the latest tax table to get new updates.
If that doesn't work, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support team if you haven't done it yet for further investigation. They have the tools required to check your account and identify what action is needed so you can complete the task. They can also create an investigation ticket if necessary.
If you also want to e-file federal payroll tax returns for your clients, keep this article for future reference: E-file tax returns for clients.
Please get back to this thread if you have any other questions or concerns about filing taxes in QuickBooks. The Community team is always around to answer them for you.
