What does it do?

Sales Tax Reporter

The Intuit Sales Tax Reporter is a simple downloadable application that works with QuickBooks. If you track sales tax information in QuickBooks, then you can use Intuit Sales Tax Reporter to very easily transfer this information onto a sales tax form that you can print and file with the state (note: this initial Intuit Labs version supports only California and New York forms).

With Intuit Sales Tax Reporter, you can:

  • Save time in filling out state-approved sales tax forms
  • Achieve accuracy and confidence with our automated data transfer and form calculations
  • Create signature-ready forms for printing and filing

Requirements:

To use this release you will need to have QuickBooks 2009 and be filing California sales tax.

We love feedback! Have an idea for Intuit Sales Tax Reporter? Want this application to include your state? Questions about using it? We want to hear from you! Please leave a comment below or send us an SalesTaxTeam@intuit.com.

By Larry Krenzin on Mar 6, 2010

Can't use it. The app won't let me change the yearly dates. I don't pay my yearly sales tax on fiscal year. My sales tax is on a July thrugh June basis.

Washington just changed sales tax reporting to match california's method. There are a huge number of tax authorities. This app would make a great addition to quickbooks and help it compete for market share against a couple of recent new apps. Save me about two hours a month!

This is a feature that I have been wanting. Can you please add Arizona to your list? (I also need Texas.)

Would love to see this include Tennessee.

I would love to see Colorado forms added. Thanks!

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Dec 29, 2009

Thanks for your feedback. We have added Colorado to the list of requested states.

I would like to see integration with Quickbooks Online and Indiana added to the list.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Dec 29, 2009

Thank you for your feedback. We hope to eventually integrate the Sales Tax Reporter with QuickBooks Online. Indiana has already been added to the list of requested states.

We're using QB 2010 Premier Accountant and the file shows the following error whether in single user or multi user mode: "Error in reading data from QuickBooks. Ensure that QuickBooks is running.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Nov 24, 2009

We are investigating the error you are seeing with QB 2010 Premier Accountant, but so far have not been able to detect a reason for it.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By J Satovsky on Nov 22, 2009

Will you keep the CA sales tax up to date, considering this can be a setup utility to double check our work for the online form(s)?

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Nov 24, 2009

We certainly hope to update the CA sales tax forms when necessary, but a firm decision has not yet been made.

By RON PERKEY on Oct 5, 2009

Thank you so much! With taking on a new job that the prior accountant incorrectly filed three quarterly returns this application made correcting these a breeze. Agree with the others getting this to be able to electronically file would be great. Keep the good work up for having used Intuit’s products since 1997 with Enterprise 9.0 currently I am enjoying so many great tools.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Oct 5, 2009

We are pleased that you found the Sales Tax Reporter to be helpful. We will be working on adding electronic filing in the future. Thanks for your feedback.

The Sales Tax Reporter sounds helpful for sure, especially if you get Colorado and Wyoming up and running. I fill out 25-30 different reports per quarter. However, improvements to the Pay Sales Tax window in QB would equally helpful. The unsizable window and difficulty of use has been a frustration of ours since version 2006. Each year we keep hoping for enhancements but so far nothing has changed. We love QB, but the sales tax module sure could be improved upon! Thank you.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Sep 24, 2009

Hi Lori,
Colorado is already on our list of requested states and we will add Wyoming. Thank you for your comments.

By Mark on Sep 10, 2009

It took me some time to get use too. However I found it powerful but incomplete. NYC had 2 sales tax codes this quarter because teh rate changed. I hope you keep improving this and add features that can update this form on the fly.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Sep 10, 2009

We appreciate your feedback. Your suggestions will help us as we work on enhancements.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 28, 2009

Hi Yolanda,

At this time the product is available only for users whose business operates on a calendar year. We plan to add fiscal year filings in the future.

By Jeni Ramsey on Nov 22, 2009

Will Texas be added?

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Nov 24, 2009

Texas is already on our list of requested states. Thank you for your interest.

By Joyce on Aug 27, 2009

I have payroll figured out, but I need to setup liquor sales tax and food sales tax so I can run reports and pay the IRS. Where do I start

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 28, 2009

Hi Joyce,

QuickBooks has an excellent tutorial on setting up sales tax in QuickBooks. Go to the Vendors menu/Sales Tax and click on Manage Sales Tax.

I am running QB Premier V2009, the program is open and I still get the message and

Error in reading data from QuickBooks. Ensure that QuickBooks is running

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By deborah on Aug 25, 2009

I get this message every time I try to use this. I opened QBV 2009 before opening the sales tax reporter :

Error in reading data from QuickBooks. Ensure that QuickBooks is running
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
What can I do to make this work.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By arun venkatesan (Intuit) on Aug 25, 2009

Dear Deborah,
This error usually occurs if either QB is not running locally on the same desktop or if the QB version is 2008 or earlier. However, you have mentioned that both conditions have been taken care of.
Could you re-try running the application and make sure that: You see a message in QB asking you if an external application 'Intuit Sales Tax Reporter' can access your data? If you don't see this message, then we may need to set up a remote debugging session with you.

By Linda on Aug 21, 2009

Can you e-file the CA return or does it have to be paper filed?

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 24, 2009

Hi Linda,

At this time, electronic filing is not offered with this application. We plan to offer this feature in the future. In the meantime, you can print the report and use the data to complete the information required for electronic filing on the state website.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Larry Krenzin on Aug 20, 2009

The application won't work for my company since I report my California taxes once a year except that the dates are for instance, 6/1/08 - 5/31/09, and your program won't let me change the yearly date range.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 24, 2009

Hi Larry,

We hope to add the fiscal annual report in the future. Thank you for your feedback.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Larry Krenzin on Aug 24, 2009

I don't see an answer to my situation...

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 24, 2009

Hi Larry,

At this time the product is available only for users whose business operates on a calendar year.

By Marcia Lorraine on Aug 20, 2009

Just downloaded and tested on a clients file. Sweet! Most of my NY clients I've set up to file electronically, throught the NYS website, but this is a great way to calculate/worksheet before going online. Thanks!

I would suggest pricing be related to a group of states (3-5)...for example, NY/PA since I am close to the PA border this may be convenient. I'm sure there are other closely related states.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 24, 2009

Hi Marcia,

We're pleased that you are finding the Sales Tax Reporter to be helpful. Thank you for your feedback & suggestion regarding pricing.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Ted Davenport on Aug 20, 2009

Hey, Add North Carolina. I'm sure you have a lot of users in the Old North State.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 24, 2009

We will be sure to add North Carolina to the list of requested states. Thanks for you feedback.

I need to do a BOE 1150 prepayment form for California. I don't see that option. Am I missing it or is it in the works for the future?

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 18, 2009

Currently BOE 1150 is not part of the offering, but we will certainly put it on the list of forms to add in the future.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Bonnie on Aug 5, 2009

I wished this would work with version 2008!

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By jeni on Aug 1, 2009

This would be a great tool for use with our clients, but would need to ability to e-file the returns and remit a payment electronically too for it to be a reall time saver. Some states require the returns to be e-filed now.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 3, 2009

Hi Jeni,

We know that many states are beginning to require electronic filing and payment and plan to offer this feature in the future. In the meantime, this application can be used to print the report and use the data to complete the information required for electronic filing on the state website.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Judy Stacey on Jul 31, 2009

On the NY forms, would it be possible to include the monthly reporting forms?

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 3, 2009

Hi Judy,

We hope to add both the monthly and the annual reporting forms in the future. Thanks for your interest.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Estela on Jul 31, 2009

This app sounds great! Please keep me up to date when it's available for Florida. Thanks.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 3, 2009

Hi Estela,

We are still determining which states will be added and in what order, but we will certainly add Florida to the list. Thank you for your feedback.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Wendy on Jul 31, 2009

Sounds like a great app. I sure need it for doing computer consulting work here in Minnesota. Please, please add us to the list.

Sales and Use Tax plus local Taxes = one big headache!

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Aug 3, 2009

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for your feedback. We will add Minnesota to the list of requested states.

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Eli Larriva on Jul 28, 2009

Sounds like a terrific app. Please add Arizona to the list. When will this product be available to other states?

Intuit Sales Tax Reporter

By Gillian Meyer (Intuit) on Jul 28, 2009

Hi Eli,

So far the order in which states will be added has not been determined, but we will add Colorado to the list of requested states.
Thanks for your feedback.
