Remain Compliant with Sales Tax Filing

A list of verified tax agencies was also created that can be matched with your existing tax rates. To use it, match your current tax rates with tax agencies on the verified list.
Manage your Chase Bank Account
If you bank with Chase you can now establish and manage that bank account with QuickBooks Online. Intuit has worked with Chase to allow users establish the connection to Chase through QuickBooks using their own username and password. The primary account holder can enable read capabilities for delegate users such as their accountant or bookkeeper.
To implement this, ensure you are an authorized user on the Chase profile. If you are not an authorized user, the primary Chase account holder will need to sign onto Chase.com and grant you permission as an Authorized User. Learn More About Authorizing Users on a Chase Account
