QuickBooks Workforce is a mobile app for QuickBooks Time that lets both employees and employers streamline payroll and time tracking.

A self-service portal for employees provides access to pay stubs and tax documents, such as W-2s and W-3s, and lets you track your time. Meanwhile, employers can automate their payroll in a way that you don’t have to provide documents to each employee, once access is allowed to your employees. Explore this guide to know the system requirements, how to get started with Intuit Workforce Login, and more.

QuickBooks Workforce: Sign in, Troubleshoot Issues and More

Here’s a full guide on Intuit Workforce payroll login, troubleshooting common issues, and more:  

Sign in to Workforce

Workforce allows employers to invite their employees to use the Intuit Workforce employee login to view their pay stubs and other payroll information. Here’s how to sign in: 

  • Check an email from do_not_reply@intuit.com with your employer’s name in the subject line. If you do not see the invite email, check the spam folder or update your employer about the same. There is a possibility of using an incorrect email address. 
  • Open the email and click Accept Invite.
  • Now, create an Intuit account using your email and a password. If you already have an Intuit account, such as QB Workforce or TurboTax, you can use their credentials too. Once the Intuit Workforce employee login is done, you’re all set to access your stubs or W-2s/W-3s. 

Troubleshoot sign-in issues

  • If you already have an Intuit Workforce Login account, you can still accept a new invite from another employer. Use the same email tied to your existing account.
  • If you have access to QuickBooks Online, you’ll need a different email for your Workforce account. We suggest using your work email for QuickBooks Online and your personal one for Workforce.
  • Your employer might have needed to resend your invite. Be sure to accept the most recent email invitation.
  • If you use other Intuit products like TurboTax or have had a past Workforce account, you’ll see a sign-in screen to enter that email and password. If that’s not the one you gave your employer, use the email address they have on file.

Find out more about multi-factor authentication 

You don’t need to set up multi-factor authentication yourself. It adds an extra layer of security beyond your password. When you sign in, you’ll receive a one-time confirmation code via email or text message. Entering this code helps verify your identity and provides stronger protection against unauthorized access or stolen passwords.

Set up and use QuickBooks Workforce

Here’s a clear step-by-step guide to set up and use QuickBooks Workforce, whether you’re an employer inviting employees or an employee accessing your pay stubs and tax forms.

Turn on notifications for pay stubs

Each time a pay stub is available, you will receive an email reminder.      

  • Browse to the workforce.intuit.com login portal.
  • Go to Settings.
  • Choose Email Notification.
  • Click “Send me an email when new pay stubs are available.”
