It's terrible. QuickBooks is really a terrible company. I have contacted their customer service for many times. Every customer service representative shifted blame and didn't help me solve any problem. I've been contacting them for half a month and they haven't given me any solution. They keep kicking the can down the road.

Your sentiments are valid, Thomas, and I recognize how incredibly frustrating this situation must be for you. 

 

When there’s a payroll hold issue, QuickBooks Online (QBO) sends an email to the Payroll Admin indicating a specific return code and detailed instructions on what needs to be done to resolve the issue. You can look for emails with subjects like “Urgent Issue with the Payroll Account” or “Payment Request for Failed Payroll Debit.” These emails contain important information about the hold.

Dealing with this kind of issue requires a comprehensive investigation. Thus, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support team again for a follow-up of your concern. I'm aware that you've reached out to them multiple times, but it's the best we can do right now given that they have all the tools required to look at your account securely. 

 

Furthermore, you can run payroll reports to get a closer look at your business' finances.

 

I appreciate your patience regarding this matter, Thomas. Please reply below if you have additional concerns about handling payroll in QuickBooks. I'll be around to lend a hand.

@Thomas Kinsling  While all of that is a perfectly accurate description of the QuickBooks support experience, what are the problems you're facing?

I contacted you 10 days ago. You said I'd get my money back in ten days. But I waited for 10 days without receiving any refund. Then I contacted you again 10 days later, and you told me that I needed to wait 10 days.

You also have my condolences.  After having one similar issue, I switched our businesses to a local payroll company and could not be happier.  The cost is nominally more expensive to have a local payroll company process your payroll and have someone you can contact that knows your business and can work through any issues with you.  As you've discovered, it only takes one issue to realize how inadequate QB support is.

I am having the same issues right now.  Sept 18 Certificate from Secretary of State was obtained by Intuit. Sept 20 they put a hold on payroll, and they sent email asking for business license and to upload it into resolution center which I uploaded all information from SOS, bank, driver's license picture, I also called them.  On Sept 20, 2024 I was sent a link for file exchange and it was supposed to expedited.  On Sept 23, 2024 they wanted a Bank Rating Form from the bank.  I also uploaded all the information from the bank regarding the bank account and the owners information again into the Resolution Center.  Bank faxed the Bank Rating Form  to them on Sept 26, 2024 and sent me the verification that the fax had been sent.  Oct 1, 2024 received an email that they needed Bank Rating form and it upload it to the Resolution Center.  I called on October 2, 2024, they had no record of any of it and they can't see anything in the Resolution Center even though I can see it from my account.  Again they sent me a file exchange, because the agent before didn't release the information to the back end, and it was again escalated.  I was supposed to be called or emailed by Friday October 4, 2024.  Today I still hadn't heard anything, so I called again. Well guess what, they still can't find the correct paperwork and they changed the case number again and escalated it again.  This agent is supposed to email me tomorrow to give me an update, meanwhile I have to do paper checks. If I lose this customer because of this crap, I'm going to seek legal counsel.  Why have a support department that can't fix the problem. I'm so tired of this whole process.
