Thanks for joining us in this thread, QFP.

Your feedback is important to us. I'll take note and forward this directly to our engineers.

While this is still under investigation, our developers have discovered a workaround by inviting your employees using their email address.

You can follow these steps to invite them:

1. Log in to your Intuit account in QuickBooks Desktop.
2. From the Company menu, select My Company.
3. Click on Sign in on the top right corner.
4. Then, log in using your Intuit ID and password.

For further guidance, refer to this article: Give employees online access to paychecks and W-2's.
