@Is_this_a_scam   Sadly, there are a LARGE number of customers in this same situation.  (you can use the Search bar at the top of any page here in the community to find them. Some even talk about filing a class action lawsuit).  

Many of these people fought for weeks, if not MONTHS on end to get their money released, only to have to collect it from their own state, after the legal limit that QB can hold money.  (You see, Intuit/ QB collects interest off of YOUR money. That's why they hold it like they do).  

It's criminal and fraudulent, if you ask me.  

File complaints everywhere you can think of.  BBB, FTC, your State Attorney General, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau...

This needs to stop!!  And the more of us that file these complaints, the more likely it is to stop. 

Good luck.
