Why do I have to automate tax collected on my invoices?

Hi there, chris460.

QuickBooks uses automated sales tax to simplify and improve accuracy in your tax process. It automatically calculates sales tax based on state and local laws, ensuring compliance and reducing errors. The feature also tracks due dates and sends reminders, helping you stay on top of payments.

That said, QuickBooks has already transitioned to using automated sales tax for all users for these reasons. However, if you'd prefer to turn off this feature, you can do so by following the steps below:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks account.
2. Go to My Apps, then select the Sales Tax dropdown.
3. Then, choose Sales Tax Settings.
4. Click the Turn off sales tax.
5. To confirm it, select Turn off.

Once automated sales tax is turned off, QuickBooks will no longer calculate sales tax for future transactions. Past transactions with automated sales tax will remain unchanged unless you edit them. For additional guidance, please visit this article: Turn off sales tax in QuickBooks Online.
