Steps to set up access between QuickBooks desktop and connected intuit services

You can perform the below steps to set up access between QuickBooks desktop and connected intuit services.

Step 1: Sending a request to primary admin for accessing to the Intuit account

  • Sign in to the company file using the QuickBooks desktop user ID. You should note that currently the requests for access to the intuit account linked to the QuickBooks company file are available for the users logging in as the QuickBooks company file admin.

  • Now sign in to the Intuit account. The Intuit account admin user ID field is prefilled, which you have to replace with your own User ID. Sign in to the intuit account of the company file. If you don’t have an Intuit account, you can create one.

  • Just in case you are already a part of the intuit account and your Intuit account login session is active, then start using the connected services.
  • Whereas, if your User ID isn’t part of the Intuit account of the company file, a request for access email is sent to the Intuit account primary admin. This will also happen if you try to access my company or any of the Intuit services like QuickBooks desktop payroll direct deposit or QuickBooks time.
  • After the email is sent, a screen confirming the request will be seen. When your primary admin will approve, you will get an email confirmation and you will be able to sign in to the intuit account with user ID. You can stay signed in to the Intuit account only for a single session, but not more than 24 hours.
  • If you want to gain Intuit account access for 180 day, sign in with the non-admin QuickBooks company file user ID to send a request to the primary admin for access to Intuit account.

  • Click on ok to acknowledge the message. And you will get an acknowledgement email ensuring that a request for access is sent to the primary admin for approval.

Step 2: Your primary admin will accept the request

  • Now that you have sent the access request, your primary admin has 30 days to accept the request. You can accept or reject the request from the email.
