This is my 5th year using Intuit payments/ merchant and I was never required to be PCI compliant before.

My bookkeeping clients (many who also accept intuit payments) were never required to be PCI compliant.

Other merchants send clients a free online PCI complaint questionnaire that takes 15-20 minutes to complete. (for free).

I've done it to my company and clients before.

I believe that's another QB sales ploy to get people's money.

Somewhere in intuit PCI compliance information pages, you can find instructions to file a form directly with Intuit, but the link takes you back to the initial instruction page and you end up no where, frustrated, angry and baffled.
