Sales Tax in QBO Course Description

State Sales Tax, am I right??? Calculating and reporting it correctly can be particularly tricky.

We should all be thankful that QuickBooks Online has a new Sales Tax calculator that takes the pain out of manually calculated local sales tax. Many states, counties, and cities have their own tax rates; however, QBO can now assess the rate for you, calculate your tax liability, and make sure you pay accurately.

In this class, we’ll look at how to properly set up the Sales Tax Center, assign tax rates to Products and Services, set Customer defaults, get Sales Tax Liability Reports, and remit taxes to the State.

Take advantage of this easy, accurate, and automated feature! Sign up now and learn how to set it all up and get started.
