How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?
Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Intuit below.
Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.
That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

What are the hours and when should I call?
Intuit operates the call center for this 800-446-8848 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 273 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Intuit call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Intuit phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Intuit staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Intuit is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Wednesday, which averages 185% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 273 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

I needed help accessing my TurboTax account because I haven't had to log in to it for over 2 years, but this year I earned enough to file taxes, so I have to use the software. However, I don't have the password, and I'm not actually sure which email I used since I have multiple ones. I thought the easiest thing to do would be to call Intuit and get help recovering my account.
I'm aware they have a lot of different products, so I'm sure that there are tons of people calling as we get close to tax season. I expected to end up on hold for a while, but the ironic thing is that once I got to the hold line I was instantly connected. What actually took almost over 8 minutes, was to get through the directory and voice assistant! If they could streamline that process, it would be simple to deal with Intuit.
When I called, a voice assistant picked up and offered a variety of options, stating, "Welcome to Intuit. For TurboTax, press 1. For QuickBooks, press 2. For Payroll, press 3. For ProSeries Tax LaCerte Tax, EasyTax press 4. For checks, forms and supplies, press 5. For payment solutions or merchant services, press 6. For credit score, press 7. For QuickBooksTime, press 8. Then, after I chose TurboTax, it said, "For assistance with Turbo Tax in the US, press 1. For Turbo Tax in Canada, press 2." I chose the US and received a disclaimer, "Thank you for calling Turbo Tax. All elements of this call may be monitored and recorded. Please tell me why you're calling today. If you have a support ID, use that number." This is where things started to get tricky.
The system told me it could send an email with a link to access my account if my email or phone number had changed, but that isn't the problem. It's my password that isn't resetting. It asked me five times what I needed but wouldn't recognize any of my responses. So then I finally started to reply, "Talk to someone."
The voice assistant finally responded, "I understand you would like to speak with someone who can help you recover your account. If you need help with anything else your specialist will ask you to call back. Is that okay with you?" I responded yes but then nothing happened. Throughout my phone call it kept just pausing for up to thirty seconds at a time. Finally it asked for additional information, and eventually it started ringing.
Someone picked up immediately once the phone line was transferred, but it took me 8 minutes to get to that point. They need to work on the directory portion of the phone call, but this number was eventually useful.

Information about why customers call Intuit is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Intuit will reply our your email.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Intuit customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
