I found the solution! I've moved most payroll to Paychex and now I only have to deal with the 'sign into your file.... now sign into your intuit account...' every second week! This isn't a complete fix of course, it will be a few more months before I can get the last few migrated over to Paychex, but once that is done I can uninstall quickbooks and this foolishness will be fixed for good. Hope this helps. FWIF - you can actually use any other payroll provider and this will still fix it for you.
