ViewMyPaycheck Intuit Login: Step-by-Step Guide

If you need to access your pay stubs, W-2s, or payroll history online, ViewMyPaycheck (now integrated into Intuit’s Workforce portal) lets employees view that information from any browser. This guide walks you through the login process, account setup, and common issues you may run into.

What Is ViewMyPaycheck?

ViewMyPaycheck is Intuit’s employee-facing payroll portal. Your employer — typically using QuickBooks Payroll or Intuit Online Payroll — enables the service, and then you receive an invitation email to create or connect your Intuit account. Once set up, you can log in at any time to view current and historical pay stubs, download W-2 forms, and check year-to-date payroll details.

Intuit has transitioned this service to QuickBooks Workforce (formerly ViewMyPaycheck), but the login steps and the underlying account system remain the same. If you received an invitation link that still references ViewMyPaycheck, it redirects seamlessly to the Workforce portal.

How to Log In to ViewMyPaycheck (QuickBooks Workforce)

Follow these steps to sign in and access your pay stubs.

1. Open your browser and go to the Intuit Workforce login page. You can find the direct link through your employer’s invitation email or by visiting the QuickBooks Workforce portal — for the official Intuit page, see Intuit.
2. Click Sign In in the upper-right corner of the page.
3. Enter the Email or User ID associated with your Intuit account in the first field.
4. Enter your Password in the second field.
5. Click the Sign In button.
6. If Two-Step Verification is enabled on your account, Intuit will send a verification code to your phone or email. Enter that code in the Enter Code field and click Continue.
7. Once authenticated, you land on your Paychecks dashboard. Click any paycheck date to view the full pay stub detail, including gross pay, deductions, and net pay.
8. To download or print a pay stub, open the entry and click Print or the download icon.
9. To access your W-2, click the W-2 tab in the top navigation. If your employer has uploaded it, the form will appear here for download.

How to Create a New ViewMyPaycheck / Workforce Account

If you have not logged in before and received an invitation from your employer, follow these steps.

1. Open the invitation email from Intuit and click View your paychecks.
2. On the setup page, click Create account.
3. Enter your Email address and choose a strong Password.
4. Click Create Account.
5. Intuit will send a verification email — open it and click Verify email address.
6. Return to the Workforce portal and sign in with your new credentials.
7. Enter the last four digits of your Social Security Number when prompted to confirm your identity and link your payroll records.
8. Click Confirm — your pay stubs and W-2s will now appear in the dashboard.

Resetting Your ViewMyPaycheck Password

If you cannot remember your password, reset it before you attempt multiple failed logins.

1. On the sign-in page, click I forgot my password.
2. Enter the Email or User ID tied to your Intuit account.
3. Click Continue.
4. Choose whether to receive the reset link by Email or SMS, then click Continue.
5. Open the message and click the reset link — it expires after a short window, so act promptly.
6. Enter and confirm your New Password, then click Save.
7. Sign in with the new password.

Troubleshooting Common Login Issues

Wrong email address — Intuit accounts are tied to a specific email. If you signed up with a personal address but are trying a work address, the portal will not find the account. Check your original invitation email for the address Intuit used.

Account locked after failed attempts — Intuit locks the account temporarily after several incorrect password entries. Wait the specified lockout period, then use I forgot my password to reset rather than guessing again.

No pay stubs visible after login — Your employer must enable the Workforce feature inside QuickBooks Payroll and actively upload or sync payroll runs. If the dashboard is empty, contact your payroll administrator — the issue is on the employer side, not your account.

Invitation link expired — Invitation links have an expiration window. If yours has lapsed, ask your employer or payroll administrator to resend the invitation from inside QuickBooks Payroll.

Two-step verification code not arriving — Check that your phone number or backup email on file is current. You can update contact details under Account Settings once logged in, or use a backup verification method if one was configured.

Browser compatibility problems — Clear your browser cache and cookies, then retry. Intuit’s portal works best on current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Avoid Internet Explorer.

For Employers: Enabling Workforce in QuickBooks Payroll

If you run payroll for your clients or staff and want employees to access pay stubs online, the setup lives inside QuickBooks Payroll.

1. In QuickBooks Desktop Payroll or QuickBooks Online Payroll, open the Employees menu.
2. Select Manage Payroll Cloud Services (Desktop) or go to Payroll Settings > Workforce (Online).
3. Toggle ViewMyPaycheck / QuickBooks Workforce to On.
4. Enter employee email addresses to send invitations directly from QuickBooks.
5. After each payroll run, Intuit automatically syncs pay stub data to Workforce — employees see new stubs shortly after you submit payroll.

For CPA firms and bookkeepers managing multiple client payrolls, keeping QuickBooks running reliably is critical. Firms that host QuickBooks on a managed cloud platform — like the fully managed hosting available through — can process payroll and push Workforce data from any device, without worrying about local machine failures or software update conflicts. The hosting environment handles provisioning, backups, and updates so your team can focus on client work rather than IT.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ViewMyPaycheck and QuickBooks Workforce?

ViewMyPaycheck was the original name for Intuit’s employee payroll portal. Intuit rebranded it as QuickBooks Workforce, but the functionality is the same — employees log in to view pay stubs and W-2s, and employers manage access through QuickBooks Payroll. If you have an existing ViewMyPaycheck account, your login credentials carry over to Workforce with no action required on your part.

Why can’t I see my W-2 on Workforce even though it’s past January?

Your employer controls whether W-2s are published to Workforce. The employer must opt in to paperless W-2 delivery inside QuickBooks Payroll and confirm the forms have been submitted. If the W-2 tab is empty, contact your payroll administrator. Employers are required by law to provide W-2s by the IRS deadline, so follow up promptly if the form is missing.

Can I use ViewMyPaycheck if my employer does not use QuickBooks Payroll?

No. ViewMyPaycheck and QuickBooks Workforce are exclusive to employers who process payroll through Intuit’s payroll products (QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, QuickBooks Online Payroll, or Intuit Online Payroll). If your employer uses a different payroll provider — such as ADP, Paychex, or Gusto — you will need to use that provider’s employee portal instead.

How do I update my email address on my Intuit Workforce account?

Log in to your account, click your profile icon in the upper-right corner, and select Account Settings or Intuit Account. From there you can update your email, phone number, and password. After changing your email, Intuit sends a verification link to the new address — click it to confirm the update before your next login.

Is my payroll information secure on ViewMyPaycheck?

Intuit uses multi-layer security on its Workforce portal, including two-step verification, encrypted data transmission, and account lockout protections. You can strengthen your own account security by enabling two-step verification in Account Settings, using a unique strong password, and never sharing your login credentials with others — including your employer or HR department.
