Is anyone else having problems with the Sales Tax center? We haven't had any access to the functionality of this tab for a few months. Is there work-around?

WOW, I am so sorry that is happening. My issues have not been as complicated because we do not use QB to the extent that you do. Nonetheless, I can appreciate. how frustrating and detrimental this is to your business operations. I hope this gets resolved quickly. As I mentioned in another string, we are in the process of transitioning to another system.

We are having a problem even opening it for some clients.  At first it was just one, now it is several.  It seems to be getting worse, not better. QuickBooks has been radio silent on this one, other than to tell us that “we take this matter seriously” or to contact customer service.  It sounds like they are using a chatbot to answer our concerns.  At this point I don’t know what else to do, clearly they are not taking this seriously.  I think they need to hear more complaints, because evidently the few of us that are complaining aren’t enough.   I have to start thinking about transitioning to something else.  It won’t be easy, but in the end…neither is this.

I need to write checks to pay my sales tax. The above work around does not make sense--the check should go against the Sales Tax payable, which I'm not allowed to choose. Please help! I have 50 returns due over the next week. I have contacted support and done all of their ideas--different browsers, incognito windows, clearing cache and cookies, a different computer--none of it is working. You say this is high priority??!! Please do something! Year end deadlines won't wait for you.

I agree.  It's actually getting WORSE, if you can believe it.  Attached is a screen shot I took this morning.  It used to show much more info, and an error message.  Now this is all that comes up.

 

They will tell you to try switching to the new sales tax, to see if that fixes the problem.  Don't bother, it doesn't work.  We have stuck with the old sales tax center because it works better.  I thought at first this was QuickBooks way of forcing me to "upgrade" to the new sales tax center. (I personally do not like the way it works).  But even attempting to upgrade returned and error message, and still no sales tax center, old or new.

 

Come on Quickbooks, this is a big deal!  Get your act together!

"Andrew",

 

If you are not a chatbot, your response certainly comes across that way.  WE HAVE TRIED ALL OF THAT.  Read this thread.  CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS USELESS.  Telling us to contact support is the definition of insanity!  Repeatedly trying the same actions, but expecting a different result!!!! The results do not change when I contact customer support.   Most are unaware of the issue.  Those who are aware of it tell us again and again, "we're working on it".  In my line of work, when  I tell a client I'm working on it, I follow through until I get results.  Quickbooks/Intuit keeps raising costs, taking away accountant perks, and chalking it up to "improvements".  Really?!?!?  If these are the improvements we are paying for, we are in big trouble.  If anyone in this thread has access to "Office of the President", forward this thread to them.  We had a persistent payroll issue that they were "working on" (ha ha), but after we escalated that way, we got results within a week.  You need a case number.  Nothing else is working, why not try that.  Here's the link I used:

If Intuit doesn't like it, then FIX THE PROBLEM!

I just complained to the OOP (Office of the President), for whatever it's worth.  If you do, just make sure you submit a case number and how you have tried to fix it through regular channels.  Hopefully we will hear from the "President", or at least a smarter, more helpful chat-bot!  LOL  I feel like Che Guevara.  Viva la revolucion!

someone got back to me from the office of the president...after an hour and a half phone call....this is the email response I got back:

 

You recently contacted a member of our support staff regarding unexpected behavior experienced in one of our products. Regretfully at that time we were unable to completely resolve your inquiry and promised to send you periodic updates to keep you informed.
 
Here is the latest update:

I spent time with the office of the president today, too. I haven't received a date, but they did do some screen recording and other things to try and document the problem.

I heard back from the office of the President as well... they said they have chosen to "not fix" the problem.  Apparently, they closed the case and didn't tell any of us.  But they chose to not fix it nor investigate any further.  I'm speechless.

They chose not to fix it?? If I get that answer from them too, then I will be asking what software they recommend I used instead. And if anyone here has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

I just got off the phone with the Office of the President and he asked me to try again--it works for me now!! He had reached out to the Sales tax specialist and that person fixed it on my end at least. I am in Colorado and they mentioned it could be specific to Colorado? I hope that the rest of you get some resolution soon! (And I hope it stays fixed!)

After several months of calling and chatting with support I can finally access my sales tax center but there is absolutely no record of any payments and it shows my sales tax liability is $0.00 for the whole year of 2023. I called and was told to adjust it myself. I should NOT have to fix anything! I was told a supervisor would call me back in an hour and that was 4 HOURS ago!

We have one of two clients working now, within the last day or so.  Glad to hear there is some movement on this issue.  It seems like bumping it up to the "office of the president" got some results.  Let's hope this gets resolved for the rest of our clients.  FYI, we're in NJ.

Still getting this message when i try to view our sales tax....Give us a few minutes and try again. If it still doesn’t work, call us so we can take a closer look.

 

Hope that just because some people have theirs working this doesn't stop the process of fixing others who still do not having a working sales tax system.

I think we finally got to the bottom of it.  I think you will find that all of us who are having issues are trying to stick with the old sales tax center.  Essentially, Intuit has given up on it, so the glitches in effect are forcing all of us to use the new sales tax center.  I do not like it one bit, but I need to process sales tax.  The engineer I worked with suggested that all of us who don't like the new sales tax center leave feedback on how we would like it improved.  Having said that, when prompted, you should switch over to the new center.  If you don't get the prompt, or it doesn't work, while in the sales tax center type in this URL:

 

https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/tax/hybrid-migration

 

This took me to the prompts required to make the change.  If you get caught in a loop at that point, your client is on an "exception" list (rare).  You will have to call support and ask to be taken off the exception list.  You can use my case number for reference, Case #15110651865.  That may help.  My clients are back up and running, so it worked for me.

 

I don't like it, but it's better than sales tax not working.  Let's make our complaints about the new sales tax center loud and clear, and maybe they will improve it.  Hope this helps everybody.
