New Tax center

I'm still not clearly seeing what is DIFFERENT between the old and new systems. This has been the most ridiculous question to get answered.   Why is there not a place to see the old vs. new?  I am in the old tax center still but do not manually determine what my taxes are. So I'm not convinced that any posts like this are actually answering this question.

I appreciate you joining in on this thread, akricker. Allow me to share additional information about the old and new Tax center setup.

In QuickBooks Online, the program provides you with two tas options on how you can track your sales tax returns. As my colleague mentioned above, these tax option setup determines your preferences on how you want to track your taxes. 

With the new Tax center option, QuickBooks automatically calculate your sales taxes based on what and where you sell. If your state changes something, like sales tax rates, QuickBooks will auto-calculate and update your tax rates. With the old Tax setup, this requires your time and effort in calculating and using taxes for your transactions manually. You can follow the steps above if you'll want to switch to the new sales tax system.

As Intuit aims to provide convenience to customers, I'll be taking note of your concern for you to differentiate both options.

Will the old tax center be eliminated by Intuit? As an Intuit Accountant, I find the old tax center more accurate in capturing ALL reportable sales. The new tax center has many pitfalls and does not even closely reflect what numbers are needed to complete tax agency forms.
