There is no help button and if you do search, you get the phone number.  If you hit update/revisit, all it lets you do is add income, not edit what was previously entered and needs fixed.  I've tried this every way suggested, none of them are working as of today, 7-14-20.  Is ridiculous and the hold time for the phone number is well over an hour, they're not saying exactly.
