**QuickBooks Live bookkeepers average over 10 years of bookkeeping experience as of July 2023.
Since introducing this updated report experience earlier this year, we’ve expanded on it with more usability and functionality.
With Modern view reports, you and your clients get a more user-friendly interface and better functionality and load times, and you can generate new reports faster. You can sort, filter, and group data, and apply advanced filters, data pivots, and charts consistently across all reports without having to export to spreadsheets.
When customizing reports, you’ll also have more fields to choose from and can preview customizations before saving the report. As businesses grow in size and complexity, this updated experience will continue to perform smoothly at scale.
Note: Starting in December 2024, most of QuickBooks Online’s Standard Reports will be available in Modern view. You can choose whether to switch back to Classic view. Modern Reports will receive functionality updates and critical security updates, whereas Classic Reports will receive critical security updates until further notice.
In a nutshell: You can now clean up inactive payroll items from your workspace.
Your clients using QuickBooks Online Payroll can now turn off the pay types, deductions, and contributions they don’t need from the Edit payroll items tool.
To improve focus and efficiency, and reduce stress and the risk of error, businesses of all sizes should be able to minimize distractions. As payroll items fall out of relevance for you or your clients, this updated functionality can help you declutter your screen.
To make a payroll item inactive, the item must have been created by a user and have no employees assigned to it. System-generated payroll items cannot be deactivated. For flexibility and peace of mind, you can reactivate your inactive payroll items as needed.
In a nutshell: E-signatures are now available in QuickBooks Online Payroll Elite.
QuickBooks Online Payroll admin users can now:
Employees can then seamlessly complete and return their signed documents using Workforce on the web.
Rather than paying for a separate, disconnected e-signature service, take advantage of a seamless and secure e-signature process right in QuickBooks Payroll.
In a nutshell: QuickBooks offers a simple solution for filing Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports while safeguarding information, helping businesses enhance compliance with reporting requirements.
On December 3, a federal district court in Texas issued a nationwide injunction stating that companies do not need to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act’s reporting obligations at this time. The government has appealed the decision, and developments are rapidly evolving. As of December 7, FinCEN has stated that reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership reports. We will continue to monitor closely. Get the latest information.
Many corporations and limited liability companies are now required to file a BOI report with the US Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in order to identify the beneficial owners of their entity and the company applicants of that entity. This process enhances government agencies’ ability to protect national security and financial systems from illicit use.
If your clients use QuickBooks Online Payroll, QuickBooks Online, or QuickBooks Desktop, they can use these solutions to easily and safely file their BOI report, if required. They can also check in QuickBooks whether they are exempt from filing a report.
For a one-time fee, your clients can follow a smooth, step-by-step experience to upload support documents and complete their form. They’ll be able to preview the form before final submission. After submission, they can track the status of their filing and safely store and protect their completed BOI report and information.
This service provides peace of mind with an easy and safe filing process for reporting your BOI.
Please note that BOI reporting deadlines vary by formation date:
