Claim Compensation from Intuit Quickbooks | Get Reimbursed 2025

Getting your money back requires preparation. Don't contact them empty-handed. Follow these steps:

• Gather Your Details: Have your QuickBooks account number, business name, and the email address associated with the account ready.
• Document Everything: Take screenshots of billing errors, service outage messages, or faulty features. If you spent hours on the phone, note the dates, times, and who you spoke with. Evidence is your best weapon.
• Know What You Want: Decide on a fair compensation amount before you call. Is it a refund for one month of service? A credit for the days the service was down? Be specific. Saying "I want compensation" is vague; saying "I demand a $59.99 credit for the service failure on May 15th" is powerful.
• Reference Their Failures: Mention the impact on your business. For example, "The outage on Tuesday prevented me from processing payroll, causing significant disruption."
• Check Their Terms of Service: Buried in their legal documents might be a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that outlines compensation for downtime. It's boring, but it can be your trump card.

In the United States, your rights as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) customer are primarily defined by the contract you agreed to, which is Intuit's Terms of Service (TOS). It's not like air travel with federal mandates for compensation.

• Terms of Service (TOS): This is your primary document. Look for sections on 'Service Availability,' 'Uptime,' or 'Refunds.' Intuit's policy generally states that they don't offer refunds for prepaid or used subscription fees. However, they may offer service credits for significant downtime, but this is often at their discretion.
• Consumer Protection Laws: While there are no specific 'QuickBooks laws,' you are protected by federal and state consumer protection laws against deceptive advertising or unfair billing practices. If you were charged for a service you didn't receive or were billed incorrectly and they refuse to fix it, you have grounds to escalate.
• Regulators: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and your state's Attorney General are the primary bodies that handle complaints about deceptive business practices. Filing a complaint can pressure Intuit to respond.

Compensation typically comes in the form of a 'goodwill credit' for one or more months of service or a partial refund for the period affected. Don't expect cash; they will almost always offer credit first.

Subject: Formal Compensation Request for Service Failure - Account #[Your QuickBooks Account Number]

Dear Intuit QuickBooks Support Team,

I am writing to formally request compensation for a significant service failure I experienced on [Date(s) of issue]. My business, [Your Business Name], associated with account #[Your QuickBooks Account Number], relies on your platform for critical operations, and the recent [briefly describe the issue, e.g., billing error, service outage, feature malfunction] has resulted in a direct negative impact.

Specifically, on the date(s) mentioned, [Provide a detailed, factual account of what happened. Example: 'your service was inaccessible for over 6 hours, preventing me from processing critical client invoices and running payroll, which directly affects my business's cash flow and credibility.'].

I have already attempted to resolve this via [mention previous attempts, e.g., 'a phone call on (Date) with ticket number #12345'], but the issue remains unresolved and I have not been compensated for the service disruption.

As per fair business practice, I expect a service that I pay for to be functional. Given the severity of this disruption, I am requesting a credit equivalent to one month of my subscription fee, totaling $[Your Monthly Subscription Fee], to be applied to my account.

I have attached screenshots documenting the error for your review. I expect a response and confirmation of this credit within 5 business days.

Sincerely,

[Your Name] [Your Business Name] [Your Phone Number]

If QuickBooks support denies your claim or offers an insulting lowball credit, don't give up. You have other options.

• Ask for a Supervisor: The first agent you speak with often has limited authority. Calmly but firmly state, "I'd like to speak with a supervisor or manager about this issue." Sometimes, that's all it takes.
• File a BBB Complaint: Filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau often gets a response from a specialized corporate team at Intuit. They don't like public records of unresolved issues.
• Contact Your State Attorney General: Your AG's office handles consumer complaints against businesses. This adds official pressure and is a powerful step if you've been systematically overcharged.
• Initiate a Bank Chargeback: If the issue is a clear billing error or an unauthorized charge, contact your credit card company. Provide your evidence (screenshots, emails) and request a chargeback for the specific transaction. This is highly effective for clear-cut billing mistakes.
• Make Noise on Social Media: A public post on Twitter/X or Facebook detailing your issue (and tagging @QuickBooks) can sometimes get a quick response from their social media team, who are focused on brand image.
