I just learned that while being forced to upgrade to Enhanced Payroll that I'm now eligible for free Direct Deposit. I go in to "My Payroll Service", click "Activate Direct Deposit" and I keep getting Error 50004

saying
"We’re unable to complete your request with this email. Contact your admin to activate direct deposit."

I AM the admin. I'm the only person who uses Quickbooks. I am it. The single office employee of my husband's buisness.....who did not set up quickbooks. I am the admin.

I've tried relogging in differently and it says it will send a code to my email....it never comes. Quickbooks...if I could rate your product and service over the last few years....it would be a half of star.
