I am a small business owner using QuickBooks self-employed. I do not accept credit cards from my clients. However, I see that Intuit is charging me transaction fees. Why is this?

When you have QuickBooks Payments account, there's a fee each time you process a transaction, @sam220. It varies depending on whether the card is swiped (2.5%), invoiced (2.99%), or keyed (3.5%). ACH payments charge a 1% fee on each transaction, and these fees will still be applied even if you don't accept credit cards.

However, these fees can also be related to other payment methods or services associated with your account. You can use the Charge Lookup Tool in your QuickBooks account to review your billing history and confirm the charges.
