 Intuit is up to its old tricks: Adding taxing burdens on its QuickBooks clients
For some time Intuit has charged a subscription fee to those who wanted to receive tax table updates, but many chose to use the original tax tables and then calculate their own changes.
Then, as now, Intuit's justification for forcing non-subscribers to enter or re-enter deductions manually for each payroll check they write has been to ensure that customers stay in compliance with ever-changing federal and state payroll tax regulations, citing statistics that 30 percent of small businesses are penalized each year for inaccurate payroll filings.
But Martin and other Intuit officials insist Intuit is using EID numbers only to provide a unique identifier for each account, and they stated categorically that Intuit will not use the EID numbers for marketing.
