Need to update Owner/Principal's email address

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?

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...

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.

You can change a Principal Officer or Primary Principal from your Payroll settings screen.
 

Here's how:
 

  1. Use the Gear () icon.
  2. Go to Payroll settings.
  3. From your Bank accounts section, click Manage payroll principal officer information.
  4. Hit Edit to change the principal officer information.
  5. From your Drop-down arrow (), choose a reason for the change.
  6. Update your principal officer's details.
  7. Select Save.

 

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!
