You can close it when you open the home page, but it'll just come back.

After reading these posts, I thought I'd check it out, and I clicked the link.

Hilariously, it doesn't even work! Instead of discovering "seasonal hiring tips", it sent me to a help topic titled "Understanding payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC", with a sub-topic "What's new for tax year 2020?".  This is old, stale news and was probably written in 2019 before the new 1099 NEC came out.  How lame is that?

So, the banner is: 1) Irritating, 2) Irrelevant for most customers, who either don't have a payroll, don't have seasonal employees, or do and so have figured out what to do, and 3) Doesn't even work!

That's classic, Intuit.

@Mark_R 

Your reply was not helpful at all. It was actually a waste of my time reading the nonsense. 

The "Seasonal Hiring Tips" banner needs to be removed!!!!!!!  It is beyond irritating!!!!!!!!!

I have tried this multiple times and the banner still comes up.  Please help - this is very frustrating.

Now I can't resize the window without with this banner popping up?  I the window is too narrow, the "x" isn't visible, so essentially, you can't narrow the window without getting the banner.  Spent time on the phone yesterday with QB support, and got now where.  They wouldn't even acknowledge people are sick of this.  Now I essentially CAN'T GET RID OF IT AT ALL.

20 year customer looking to change software.  Intuit has gradually gotten worse and worse at taking advantage of paying customers to advertise things we DON'T NEED.  And as someone else pointed out, it's not ever linked to the info it says it is!

Lastly, if it takes a bit to load, nothing works!  It just locks up and waits to load it's useless "important feature information".

It is now February 2022, think it is time to get rid of this message?

That solution does not work, and after paying 6 to 8 hundred dollars per seat for QB Desktop Premier for Manufacturing and Wholesale for 14 years now, we are ready to switch. Had enough! We made the suggestion for the ability to hide your bank balance in the check writing screen years ago, and nothing ever came of it. In small businesses vendors and service personnel sometimes end up behind your desk when there to get paid, and our current balance is none of their business. Many of these people are friend's and we are not going to discourage them from positioning to shake our hands or look at something unrelated in our offices. A "hide account balance on check writing screen" BOX in preferences seems like a pretty simple thing to do.
