Is it just me, or won't QuickBooks accept a temporary NI number?

Many thanks

No payroll software should accept temporary NI numbers, they haven't been legal for about a decade.

If you don't know an NI number just leave the NI number box blank, and you must fill in the employee's gender and birth date.

Thank you for that, Tony. Daft thing is, I've just rung the Inland Revenue and been told how to do it!
Dear oh dear!

It wouldn't surprise me at all to discover that some HMRC employer helpline staff don't know that TN NI numbers are no longer valid.

One of our employees has one, he doesn't earn enough to pay any insurance or tax so maybe that is why it's never been a problem. I might take your advice and blank it out though.

They aren't acceptable to HMRC when filing. Curiously some payroll software seems to accept them when entering data, which ought to be an accreditation failure according to HMRC's payroll accreditation guidance but doesn't always seem to be one.

 The software in question did have a problem but you could choose to ignore it, which I did. It has been the same for 8 years now apparently, so I might neaten things up ready for the real time stuff and just clear the NI off his record. He has down syndrome and got taken on for work therapy about 8 years ago and has never left smile.
