Contact Gusto Support
You can reach us by chat, callback, or email. Chat is the fastest way to get help. We solve most issues up to nine times faster through chat than by email.
Why you need to sign in to contact us
Signing in is how we confirm your identity before we can discuss your account. This applies no matter how you reach us — even a phone call requires identity verification. Taking a few minutes to fix sign-in yourself is the fastest path to getting help.
If you cannot sign in right now, fix your sign-in issues first. Once you are in, you can reach us immediately by chat, callback, or email.
Sign in with a passkey for the fastest help. Enter your email, then confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or a security key. You do not need a password or a code.
Signing in with a password? You need:
Your password. Reset it or set one up.
Your 2-step verification code. Fix common 2-step verification problems.

Important: You will need your email and password to get your call code. If you do not know your email or password, you can find or reset it first.
If you call us for help with your account, we may ask you to share a 6-digit security call code to confirm your identity. This is not the same as a 2-step verification code. If you need help with 2-step codes, follow these troubleshooting steps.
To get your call code while on hold:
Go to gusto.com/code.
Sign in with your email and password — we will not send or ask for a 2-step verification code. If you do not know your email or password, you can find or reset it.
Once signed in, you will see the call code. Say or enter it over the phone.
