Why is it so difficult to open a support ticket with Quickbooks online? I don't want to post to "the community" to ask for someone to correct a billing issue.

What kind of billing issue? You paid twice the amount?

I'm experiencing the same frustration. I think I was double billed for Payroll because I was charged $500 for the annual fee on the payroll and then the renewal subscription for my Quickbooks desktop was a lot more than usual. We have a small company with no employees right now but may hire again in the future. It's hard to justify paying $1,300 for an annual subscription. Is there a number I can call and talk to someone or an email I can use?

I'll be providing details on what are the different Intuit charges you may encounter. Also, I'll ensure you'll be routed to the right person to verify this and fix it.

When subscribing to QuickBooks Desktop, there are certain charges you may encounter about your subscription.
