Thanks for that response. That's disappointing but not surprising. It's unfortunate that intuit considers enrolling in an additional paid service that I don't need as an integral part of "set up." FWIW, I have clicked through, read about the service etc. I did everything up until the point where I had to enter my banking information to continue but it still says "not started" and the set up steps remain at 75%. Oh well.
