Complain About Intuit Quickbooks - learn how to file a complaint

Immediate to 48 hours, but let's be real, it often feels like an eternity.

• Try calling the moment their lines open, usually 6 AM Pacific Time, to beat the rush.
• Have your account number, recent invoice details, and a clear timeline of the issue written down before you call.
• Use the chat feature for less critical issues. You can multitask while you wait for a response.

If Quickbooks support is giving you the runaround, it's time to escalate. Your best bet in the US is to file a formal complaint with an external body. They can't ignore these.

• Better Business Bureau (BBB): This is the classic move. File a complaint on the BBB website. Intuit is generally responsive to these because it affects their rating. BBB works, but prepare to wait. Intuit usually responds after a reminder or two.
• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): Since QuickBooks handles payments, payroll, and other financial services, the CFPB is a powerful option. They take complaints about financial products seriously and will forward your case to the company for a response.

Remember, you typically need to show that you've already tried to resolve the issue directly with Intuit before these organizations will step in. Keep records of your calls and emails.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Unresolved Billing Issue on Account [[Account #]]

I am writing again to resolve an ongoing problem with my Quickbooks account.

This is my third attempt to get help with an incorrect charge. On [[Date]], my account was billed [[$Amount]] for a service I did not authorize or use. I have already contacted support twice on [[Date of first contact]] and [[Date of second contact]] but the issue remains unresolved. Frankly, the amount of time I've had to spend chasing this down is becoming a major disruption to my business operations.

To resolve this, I require a full refund of [[$Amount]] to be processed immediately. I also need written confirmation that the charge has been reversed and my account has been corrected to prevent this from happening again.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response and confirmation of the refund within 3 business days, my next step will be to file formal complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

• Ask for a Case Number Immediately. The second you connect with a support agent, politely ask for a case or ticket reference number. If the call drops (and it might), you won't have to explain everything from the beginning.
• Use the word 'Cancel'. If you're on the phone about a billing issue you can't resolve, mentioning you're considering canceling to move to a competitor can sometimes get you transferred to a 'retention' specialist with more authority to help.
• Take it to X (Twitter). A public, polite but firm post tagging @QuickBooksCare detailing your issue (without sharing private info) can work wonders. No company likes bad public-facing PR.
• Quote Their Own Policy. A user on Reddit mentioned they finally got a refund by finding the specific term in the QuickBooks Terms of Service that supported their claim and reading it to the support agent. It shows you've done your homework.

Tired of the endless hold music from Quickbooks support, only to be told your issue needs to be 'escalated' for the third time? Sound familiar? It's exhausting.

We manage the follow-ups and persistent pushback so you can get back to actually running your business instead of managing a complaint. Let us take over the headache. Seriously.
