You can close it when you open the home page, but it'll just come back.

After reading these posts, I thought I'd check it out, and I clicked the link.

Hilariously, it doesn't even work! Instead of discovering "seasonal hiring tips", it sent me to a help topic titled "Understanding payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC", with a sub-topic "What's new for tax year 2020?".  This is old, stale news and was probably written in 2019 before the new 1099 NEC came out.  How lame is that?

So, the banner is: 1) Irritating, 2) Irrelevant for most customers, who either don't have a payroll, don't have seasonal employees, or do and so have figured out what to do, and 3) Doesn't even work!

That's classic, Intuit.
