Join nowI 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?
Thanks for checking in with us, lbcwyo.
We can go to the Customer Account Management Portal for QuickBooks Desktop or CAMPS to update the primary contact information of the account. Here's how:
For detailed information, see this change or update Primary Contact on your QuickBooks Account article. However, if you no longer have access to the primary contact's account, I'd suggest contacting our Payroll Support Team.

To ensure we address your concern, our representatives are available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 6:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Saturdays, PST.

Just in case you'll need to request a direct deposit primary principal change in QuickBooks Desktop, see the Change primary principal for Basic, Standard, and Enhanced Payroll article for more details.

I'd like to know how things going after contacting our support agent, as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Feel free to reply to this post and I'll get back to you. Take care always.
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...
Thanks for joining this thread, @S Basehart.
It's best to consult with our technical support team to further assist you in changing the info on your account. They use specific tools to pull up your account in a private place and help you update the owner's info. To connect with them, please refer to these steps:
I've also added this great source where you can find articles that can help you in managing your books in QuickBooks, please head to QBDT help articles at this link. This includes topics such as reconciliation, track income, and expenses, run reports, etc.
If you have further concerns with updating your QuickBooks info, feel free to get back here. I'm always around to help. Take care.
These are the instructions I was given after contacting support. This is the response that should have been posted to help people avoid having to spend a lot of time contacting support.

I use Quickbooks Online. When I ran my T4 Summary, the S.I.N. of a shareholder/part owner is still showing. He is no longer with the company. How do I remove his info in Quickbooks Online.
Thanks for joining the Community and getting involved with this thread, JLSwithADS.
You can change a Principal Officer or Primary Principal from your Payroll settings screen.
Here's how:
You'll receive a verification code after saving the changes. This is to double-check your updated info. Once verified, the changes will be applied immediately to your account. If additional details are needed, Intuit will contact you.
I've also included a detailed resource about changing primary principals/admins/contacts on payroll accounts which may come in handy moving forward: Change your primary principal, payroll admin, or other payroll contact
I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely day!
