While there isn't an estimated time frame for a fix, I encourage you to contact our support team so they can add your account to the investigation. This ensures you stay updated about the investigation. Here are our contact details:

• Schedule a Callback or start a Chat: click (?)Help in the upper right in QuickBooks Online > type and enter "Contact support" into the QB Assistant > click Contact Us > explain your situation > click Let's Talk > choose Get a callback or Start a Chat.

• Support hours are from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET.

Feel free to keep me posted on how you make out. I'll be one message away in case you need anything else. 

This is very unfortunate. We just commenced our 3 month special membership and our accountant was ready to set up our system. With this function being unavailable I feel as though we are wasting our membership waiting on the software to be fixed - in an unknown amount of time.

I hope it is fixed quickly so we can actually use the software as per our subscription described or we will move to Sage.

You can invite your Accountant as a Company Admin for the time being. Be sure to ask your accountant to share another email address with you. Your Accountant cannot use their QBO Accountant account to access your account as Company Admin.

Is the attached screen where you are adding the accountant?

It seem from your description that the accountant should be the person verify the identity not you.

Often problems with QBO can be resolved by going into incognito mode in Google Chrome.
