8 Effective Ways to Call QuickBooks® Support (Desktop™ & Payroll™)

1. Call During Off-Peak Hours
   To avoid long wait times, try calling early mornings (7:00–9:00 AM) or late afternoons (3:00–5:00 PM). These are typically less busy hours for support lines.

2. Have Your QuickBooks Info Ready
   Before calling 1-888-394-9046, prepare:

QuickBooks license number

Company EIN (Employer Identification Number)

Your subscription level (e.g., QuickBooks Pro, Premier, or Payroll Core/Elite)

Description of the issue (including error codes, if any)

This ensures faster, more accurate assistance.

3. Use a Landline or Stable Connection
   Support agents may need to stay on the line for 15–30 minutes or more depending on your issue. Use a clear, stable phone connection to avoid dropped calls during troubleshooting.

4. Request Remote Support
   If you’re unsure how to follow certain steps, ask the agent for secure remote access support. This lets the technician fix the issue in real time while you observe, saving time and confusion.

5. Be Specific About Your Issue
   The more specific you are (e.g., “Payroll taxes aren’t calculating correctly for California employees”), the quicker the agent can route your call and solve the problem.

6. Mention Previous Case Numbers
   If you’ve called before, have your case ID ready. This allows the new support agent to quickly pick up where the last one left off—no need to repeat yourself.

7. Use Hands-Free Tools
   Use a headset or speakerphone so you can navigate QuickBooks on your computer while talking to the agent. It makes following their instructions much easier.

8. Take Notes for Future Reference
   During the call, write down:

Step-by-step instructions provided

Any changes you make to the system

Case number and agent name
This info will help you if the issue recurs or you need to escalate support.
