This is quite clearly a shakedown by Intuit. Their corporate culture is starting to leave a very bad taste; they are doing similar things with MailChimp - trying to milk the customer for everything they can get away with.
I do not collect, transmit, or store credit card payment details - there is no requirement for me to be PCI compliant other than Intuit requiring it, and from what it looks like here, that is solely to make a profit for them.
If Intuit tries to force me to go through this unnecessary process, I will simply close my payment account and move all customer payments to Stripe.
