Podcast Episode Overview

Alicia runs through the latest QuickBooks Online updates rolling out this holiday season, from enhanced client request routing in the banking feed to the completely redesigned sales tax center. She covers new time tracking integrations, the text-based payroll agent, modern report improvements, and explains why toggling that sales tax checkbox doesn’t actually change product taxability—a common source of reporting discrepancies that trips up many users.
