Error: Invalid Reference to NameList in PayeeEntityRef
You may receive this error when importing the Intuit Full Service Payroll IIF (Intuit Interchange File) into QuickBooks. This happens when there's a mismatch in the employee name between QuickBooks and Intuit Full Service Payroll.
Employee names in Intuit Full Service Payroll and QuickBooks must match exactly, including middle names.
To fix the problem:
- In your QuickBooks Desktop company file, check to see if there is a period after the middle initial. If so, remove it. Although it appears there is one in Intuit Full Service Payroll, this is strictly cosmetic and is not actually part of the name.
- In your Intuit Full Service Payroll account, check for extra spaces trailing after the employee's name.
