Question: When posting payroll I get a message "The EIN does not match the company in Quickbooks". How do I fix that so I can post my payroll?

Answer: For your payroll to post to Quickbooks the Federal EIN entered in both programs needs to be exactly the same.

In your Quickbooks program, delete your Federal EIN and reenter it.
In your Payroll program, go to the Company Information window, delete the Federal EIN and reenter it.
Go to the "File" menu and select "Save".
Click "OK".
Quit out of both programs and reopen them.
Post your payroll to Quickbooks.
