I agree 100%.  The new Automated Sales tax DOES NOT work for Texas.  What's worse I have been told that if you are new to QBO and came on after the new Automated Sales tax you never had the option of using the Old system and, therefore, you cannot go back to the old system.  You are stuck with a worthless program.  Intuit, needs to give users the option of using Cash or Accrual basis and also to pick if you want to use the shipping address or the origin location to calculate sales tax.  Somewhere Intuit got the misguided idea that Texas is an origin based state, and will only calculate sales tax based on the shippers location making it necessary to override the tax amount but then your sales tax reports are worthless because all taxes are still shown for the shipper's location.  Taxes, however, need to be filed by City and/or county.
