If you’re one of the more than 6.5 million business owners or tax professionals that rely on Quickbooks Online to run your business, you know how many critical business tasks happen within the Quickbooks platform.

Quickbooks Online makes it easy for you to centralize those tasks in one place, saving you time and helping you stay organized.

But one task that hasn’t always been easy to do within Quickbooks is sales tax calculation. 

We believe that managing sales tax for invoices is one of those critical tasks that should be seamless and straightforward to do within the Quickbooks or any other platform you use to run your business. 

That’s why we are excited to announce the launch of the TaxCloud real-time integration with Quickbooks Online. 

Real-Time Sales Tax Calculations with TaxCloud & Quickbooks Online

We’ve heard loud and clear from the customers we work with everyday that the current solutions on the market to calculate and apply sales tax in real-time within Quickbooks Online have fallen short of what busy business owners and tax pros need today. 

We are excited to help solve that problem with our new real-time integration and browser extension, which lets you calculate sales tax instantly on any of the documents you’re working on right within Quickbooks Online.

After enabling the integration and installing the TaxCloud browser extension, you will have the ability to automatically calculate sales tax with a single click. Just use our browser extension and click “Calculate tax,” and TaxCloud will apply the exact rate based on your product or service and location. These calculations can be easily run on QBO invoices.

 

This is just part of what the new TaxCloud integration offers to Quickbooks Online users. 

A Better Experience to Manage Sales Tax Compliance

Beyond just making it simple to calculate sales tax within Quickbooks Online, TaxCloud brings several enhancements to the QuickBooks Online user experience including:

  1. Automatic Uploads for Compliance: Completed invoices are automatically uploaded to TaxCloud, streamlining the filing and reporting process. This feature keeps businesses audit-ready without requiring additional steps.
  2. Flexible Invoice Editing: Our browser extension lets you control when taxes are calculated, ensuring that your invoice editing experience is efficient and your existing workflows are not disrupted.
  3. Effortless Nexus Tracking: TaxCloud’s user-friendly dashboard monitors economic nexus across states, alerting users when thresholds are approaching. This proactive approach helps businesses stay compliant without the guesswork.

The launch of the new integration is just the beginning of how TaxCloud will support the needs of businesses that rely on Quickbooks Online to run their business. We’re already working on future releases to continue to add new functionality and to further streamline the experience of managing your sales tax within the Quickbooks Online platform. 

The Right-Sized Sales Tax Solution for Growing Brands on Quickbooks Online
