Error code 12301

Can someone, anyone at Intuit identify what error code 12301 is and how to fix it? Please don't ask me to contact support. I have and to no avail. Every answer I get does not have anything to do with my issue. Can someone at least provide a list of QBO error codes so I at least know the nature of the error code?

You might add duplicate account number in the chart of accounts. All I had to do was change one account number. The issue has been resolved.
