QuickBooks does not allow electronic filing if any employee is using all zeros for a SSN.

Reading through prior posts, I see Intuit employees suggesting "use a dummy SSN".  Intuit, that is ILLEGAL.  Would you like to offer up your SSN for this purpose?  I see Intuit lecturing on how important it is to have only valid SSNs.

What I see nothing of is Intuit abiding by what the law allows and the IRS mandates.  See my attached file, Page 15 of the IRS 2023 General Instructions for Forms W-2 and W-3 states, "If the employee has applied for a card but the number is not received in time for filing, enter "Applied for" in box a on the paper Forms W-2 filed with the SSA.  If e-filing, enter zeros ([removed] if creating forms online or [removed] if uploading a file."

The mandate for e-filing is over 10 forms W-2.  Please tell us how to do that when you are making up your own regulations?
