I'm just glad I use Sage for my own stuff.  How stupid is it to not allow a customer the option to control the payment of their own payroll taxes and prepare their own payroll tax returns?  But I'm sure they are doing this all purely to help the customers rather than generating more fees.  🙄

What’s changing?

QuickBooks Online Payroll is making it even easier to manage payroll taxes. Starting in November 2025, all new subscriptions will have the Automated taxes and forms feature enabled as a mandatory setting. This means your clients can enjoy a more streamlined payroll experience, with QuickBooks handling payroll tax payments and filings on their behalf. No more manual steps or worries about tax payment and filing deadlines.

What does this mean?

All new customers of QuickBooks Online Payroll that sign up on or after November 15, 2025, will not  have the option to turn off the Automated taxes and forms feature.
