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.
