I am the Owner/Principal for my organization.  I have a new email address and need to update the email address listed in the Owner/Principal contact information in my QuickBooks account.  I have Intuit QuickBooks Payroll Standard.  How do I make this small change?

  3. Choose the primary contact from the list of contacts on the account and update the email address.

That changes the primary contact, but not the owner info. I had a crooked bookkeeper set up my books, and her info is under the owner. How can I actually change that and not just the primary contact info? I wrote it in a certified letter and sent it in to Intuit and even that didn't work...
