Single Touch Payroll (STP) is coming into effect from 1 July 2018. To help you be compliant, we have developed a new application called GovConnect STP that connects all four Reckon products to the ATO STP service.
The application acts as a gateway to the ATO enabling you to submit your STP reporting directly to the ATO. You can also review payroll info, amend any errors before lodging, receive ATO messages and view all past submissions.
The STP update will be available next week with the 2018 tax tables.
Reckon One, Accounts Hosted, Reckon Accounts 2018 and Payroll Premier 2018/19 are STP enabled and there is no additional cost for this functionality.

So I've just followed the guide on how to log in to the portal, but it appears there is no option for Reckon Hosted, only Reckon One still. Will this be updated over the weekend as well or have I done something wrong?

I noticed in the webinar (couldn't hear, only read the screen) that multi-factor authentication was mandatory and then there were instructions for enabling on a phone or a tablet. Please tell me we are not required to use either of these devices to send the data to the ATO??

Delerious to be of assistance. Have you set up 2FA yet? Its a snap. In the other software we use Google authenticator. Its very simple. Runs on your phone. You need a account for every software you use like Q or X or M.

Hi Nicky,
MFA is an important and mandatory component in the STP process as required by the ATO. I'd recommend taking a look at the info on how MFA fits in the STP process HERE to get accustomed to the requirements that will be in place.
I'll also have a copy of the webinar up today so you can catch up on anything you missed.

You don't need any additional device other than a Android smartphone or iPhone to use the Google Authenticator app. Did you take a look at the MFA link I posted in the reply above, it covers the process in detail.

Yes, I did but my point is I don't use a smartphone, my positions here at work doesn't need or use a smartphone, we don't use Ipads or Android tablets at work. The MFA procedure seems to say basically that you won't be able to comply with the new rules unless you use a smartphone or a tablet.

Don't want to use any smartphone, there isn't one available for use in this role,( you can't use google authenticator on a PC )Interesting that a google product is used when most government websites and portals don't work with Chrome. Sorry if I am being "thick" but it just seems unbelievable that the ATO should mandate "you must use a mobile device to comply with our new rules"

The good thing about the new webinars coming up is that they focus on each individual product specifically so you'll be able to see processes that affect you and apply it to your circumstances and ask questions as well.

No, we aren't using the user ID, we are logging in via our usual user name. We have updated to 2018 tax tables, and can still log into Reckon without a problem. But when we go in to portal.reckon.com and try to log in it won't work. According to what I've read we should already be registered as we are using Hosted. We have pressed the button "can't remember user name" just in case, but no e-mail is issuing from this step

I'm having the same trouble today and spent quite a while on the phone to support with no outcome.
Hi, I have processed our first payrun today for the 2018/19 FY. We have two "branch" numbers for our ABN. GovConnect is set up correctly, but when I attempt to upload the STP file, it rejects as the ABN/Branch Number doesnt match the exported report. Are you able to advise when I load the "Branch Number" for our ABN in Payroll Premier.
Rav, Community Manager

Hi Samantha,
I've asked our STP experts about your query this morning and they've advised if you have two branch numbers you need two Payroll Premier files to be able to able to split between them and this has always been the case.
To set branch number in Payroll Premier you need to head into File > Preferences > File and there is a EMPDUPE code.
The EMPDUPE code is the branch number.
If you have two branch numbers and need to report as two, then you will need two Reckon GovConnect tiles; one for each branch and then export the files from Payroll Premier with the different branches into the respective GovConnect STP tile.

"Open Single Touch Payroll in Reckon One. Click the Single touch payroll link available in the side bar under the Payroll option. If this link is not present, your user may not have permissions to this area. Please discuss with your Reckon One administrator."
The problem I have is that the link is not present, but I am the administrator with full permissions. I've processed today's pays but can't lodge the report with the ATO.

Hi Kylie,
Do you have the Payroll module with Reckon One?
Single Touch Payroll is enabled by default for all Reckon One Payroll module users so the link should appear on the side bar on the left provided you have that module activated.
Let me know

Yes, I do have the payroll module. I have paid for it and I've used it to process pays. I have 2 companies set up (separate books). I've processed pays in both of them and neither of them have the Single Touch Payroll link available on the Payroll menu. Yesterday I also read through the knowledge base document on fields that have to be populated (company legal name, each employee has to have an employee number etc) and I'm pretty sure the files are compliant with those fields. Yesterday I also spent about an hour on hold for a support call but then I gave up...
ETA - both books have "Core-Medium" and "Payroll-Medium"
I also note that in the Reckon GovConnect company details that neither company has an address so I was wondering if that had anything to do with it, but I cannot find a way to edit these to include the address.

I have a Reckon Hosted Licence and just completed my first STP upload through the Reckon GovConnect. Everything was pretty straight forward and went through easily.
My question is when I get directed and log in to Reckon GovConnect it states that the first 30 days are free and is asking me to purchase and provide a credit card for payment to continue after the 30 days. From everything I have read there is no additional cost for STP for Hosted users I am just checking to see if after 30 days I will still have access?

Hi Caroline,
Correct, there's no cost for the STP service through the Reckon range of products.
I think what you're seeing is free 30 day trial info for our cloud solution Reckon One which is also located in the Reckon Portal as well.

Hi, Thank you so much for your reply. So the client already has STP and it seems it would be fine to lodge through there however it will be us who lodge all the STP reports.
When i click reckon govconnect on the left hand side it brings up our accounting firm and to launch STP. Which i can do but when i am in there i cannot lodge a clients STP file.
I've tried the buy now and to add the clients ABN but i see i cannot do this if they have already registered.

Hi Jovie,
Really sorry that you've had a hard time in speaking to the support team today, the teams have been flat out but they're doing their best to get through all their calls as quick as possible.
In regard to revoking MFA, there are only two ways depending on separate circumstances.
The first is, revoking MFA through your Reckon Portal settings.
This can be completed if you have the original MFA source that you initially used ie. the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
The second is if you don't have the original Google Authenticator used ie. it was uninstalled/deleted or if you need a MFA code revoked from your Reckon Portal account for any reason other than the above, there are stringent security controls around this.
You must get in touch with our Support team to initiate it as they will need to verify the account owner. If this is successful, they will organise for MFA code to be revoked. Its not instantaneous unfortunately due to the sensitive nature of information in the Single Touch Payroll process.

Hi Greta,
The email address fields in your employee list need attention and correction.
In particular, I'd recommend checking out the 2nd and 10th employee in the STP list. Check if all email addresses are correct, if there are any leading or trailing spaces in the email address and if there is more than one email address listed.

Hi Greta,
I'd recommend checking if there are any leading or trailing spaces before or after any email addresses because while the email address itself might look correct, a space after the address could be causing the problem and causing your file to be rejected.
There is no difference in requirements in terms of the login method, its the same for everyone.

Invalid Company Information provided. Please check your ABN/WPN, Company Name and Branch number match those set in Reckon GovConnect Single Touch Payroll for your company.
When lodging the STP file on the portal, we are faced with the above error. We have double and triple checked the Company Name, ABN and Branch number and they are all correct.
Do you have any suggestions as to how we can fix this issue?

Hi Lucinda,
If you're using Reckon Accounts Business (desktop) or Hosted, check out this post and the link to the KB article related to that error message -
“Invalid Company Information error” in Govconnect STP when submitting pay events from Reckon Accounts Business & Hosted
As Greta mentioned, case sensitivity is a common cause but also you need to ensure that the name shown in GovConnect STP is exactly replicated in your company file..
A common trip up has been where the business name GovConnect STP shows, for example, ABCD LIMITED but the company file shows ABCD LTD or ABCD Limited which will cause a failure and result in that error message.

Can anyone tell me where to find the branch number in the Reckon Gov Connect. I have tried 000 and 001 in the payroll system but still no go. Is there anywhere I can send the file so someone can tell me what needs changing? Desperate here.

Hi Nicky,
Can you access the ATO Portal? That will show you if you have a branch number associated with your ABN. I had to type the Company name all in Capitals in the Legal name section of Reckon and I also had to type the work LIMITED not LTD at the end. I had called the ATO and asked them to read out the exact legal name and address to check it.
Goodluck!

Thanks Rosie, I have finally (after a week) got it to work. The trading name had to be added as well as the legal name and the surname dropped off the contact name in the payroll (bizarre) The branch has to be 000 but it defaults to 001 everytime you open the program. I am just thankful it worked!!

I have upgraded to our 2018 software (Reckon Accounts Premier) and I see nothing at all relating to STP in the software. I have watched the you tube video and saw that there should be a report under the employee reports tab. I have nothing new here. Please help. Are we enabled yet or not as we have to get this moving or I will have to request an extension with the ATO. Everything else is ready to go.

Anne-Maree,
Have you downloaded and installed the 2018 Tax Table Update?
It contains the tax tables for the current financial year and adds Single Touch Payroll functionality.
You'll find the Tax Table Update in the Members Area, just log in with your Customer ID & PIN.

You'll be able to see the GovConnect STP app inside the Portal once its activated later this week.
Also, I'd recommend attending the webinar this afternoon as the team will be giving you a demo on how to use Payroll Premier with GovConnect STP -
