Actually, I don't pay quarterly unemployment taxes, nor do I receive tax rate notices or statements of benefit charges. The reason is that I am a one-person company. For this reason, they will not issue me an ESD number. I have asked for one. I can attach their email reply if you would like to see it. There will be no ESD number for me.

So I'm not trying to avoid setting it up to get an advantage. I'm not setting it up because I don't have a number to put in there. This is an oversight in QB Online, which asks for a number which does not exist. What happens next?
