Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I'd like to thank each user for joining this thread and provide an update on the situation.
As of January 18, 2024, Intuit released an update which now enables you to enter all zeros for Social Security Numbers (SSN). The update will enable you to be in compliance with the Social Security Administration guidelines for situations where an employee's number is unknown, or it's been applied for.
You can manually check for updates to confirm you're using your product's latest release.
Here's how:
- In the top menu bar, go to Help, then Update QuickBooks Desktop.
- Select Update Now, then Get Updates.
- Close and reopen QuickBooks to install your update.
Once you've confirmed you're using the latest release, you'll be able to enter all zeros for employee SSNs.
I've also included a detailed resource about keeping QuickBooks updated which may come in handy moving forward: Update QuickBooks to its latest release
