I also find this extremely annoying. We don't even get a "this doesn't apply to me" option. I'm a single member LLC and I have no employees but myself, and I pay myself with member draws from the LLC. Yet nearly every time I open QBO I get harassed (there really is no other word for it) about signing up for QB payroll. I don't even *have* payroll, but there is no way to make this stop. I also get the constant loan or credit line offers, which aren't really very good. I could do better elsewhere. I pay a subscription price for this product. I shouldn't have to *ever* deal with any adds. You want to email me with offers and product information, great. But you stick adds in the software just to eliminate the option to opt out.
