QuickBooks Online has added item receipts — but before you click that irreversible "turn on" button, you need to understand what you're getting into. Dan DeLong of School of Bookkeeping joins Alicia to explain how item receipts separate the receiving of merchandise from the billing event, why that matters for inventory-heavy businesses, and who actually needs this feature. If you don't have a receiving warehouse step in your workflow, this one's probably not for you.

Tax season tunnel vision is real — and Intuit has been quietly rolling out some significant new features while you've been heads down. Alicia walks through the new Business Tax section (including AI-powered deduction suggestions and ProConnect Tax integration), a beefed-up Customer Hub with built-in contracts and appointment scheduling, and some welcome payroll improvements around document management and employee history. If you've been wondering what's behind those price increases, this episode might just answer that question.
