Support fee

It can be unsettling to experience a sudden change in the services you rely on, @Patti51, especially when you've historically included these features in your package. I see you're dealing with a situation where your employee payroll features were suddenly turned off and you were informed of an additional support fee for resolution. While waiting for other Community members to respond, I want to provide details to help clarify things.

If a product is subscribed under Intuit billing, a user is entitled to additional value or benefits such as free technical support. However, please know that Rightworks billing (formerly Right Networks) is entirely separate from Intuit billing. Since your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is hosted by Rightworks, and depending on your support needs, additional fees may apply when you contact our Live Support Team for technical assistance. More info in these articles:

• Hosting providers authorized by Intuit (scroll down to Support for hosted QuickBooks section)
• Intuit Accounts - Who to Contact for What

Given the hosting arrangement, I recommend contacting Rightworks first to ensure there are no issues from their end that might affect the payroll features within the hosted environment. Their contact details are in this article: Contact Rightworks by phone, chat, or email.

Additionally, if you believe the charges are directly from Intuit, you can use the Look up a charge tool. This will help you understand where the charge originated and why. Refer to Option 2 of this article for more information:  Understand Intuit charges on your credit card or bank statement.

@Patti51 

when you call to get help told that I now have to pay for support

Which number did you call? How did you get it?

No it was NOT rightnetwork that I was speaking with---- It was a live Chat------- I it was turned back on--- but I told him he had to call back on Monday--- I ask to speak to a supervisor and he told me only supervisor call on back on live chat.... Someone beside this dud needs to call and straighten this out.  For the moment my employee pay a and payroll items are back on.. He was also telling me Rightnetwork would go away.....  SO what is the difference between QB Cloud and Rightnetwork hosting.... I honestly got the feeling this was some type of 3rd party that QB is using and they were trying to get more money from me.
