QuickBooks Online new features and updates—June 2026
Review signals in the AI-powered bank feed
In a nutshell: Your client’s bank feed now helps further simplify your work, making it easier to see which AI-powered categorizations and vendor suggestions need your review.
When you or your client are working in their QuickBooks bank feed, you may notice a few key updates that will help improve efficiency and accuracy:
- Improved AI-powered category and vendor suggestions.
- Color-coded review signals that show you which suggestions are more in need of your attention.
- The ability to edit transactions in-line for more efficient posting.
Create certified payroll reports in QuickBooks Workforce
In a nutshell: You and your clients can use QuickBooks Workforce Elite to create certified payroll reports.
Certified payroll reports are commonly used to report weekly payroll during government contracts. Rather than rely on manual workarounds to create them—increasing compliance risk—your construction clients can use QuickBooks Workforce Elite to draft their weekly Form WH-347. This form will automatically include key information. Your client simply needs to complete the form and submit it each week.
Creating certified payroll reports in QuickBooks Workforce helps make it easier to stay compliant with federal regulations, bid on federally funded projects, and win new contracts.
Use QuickBooks Workforce for expedited amendments
In a nutshell: Use QuickBooks Workforce to have IRS payroll tax amendments submitted in as little as 7 days—not the typical several weeks.
As soon as you complete any needed corrections in the Payroll flow, you’ll get the choice to submit your amendments through Workforce or separately.
If you choose to submit them using Workforce, you’ll see information about what’s being filed and when. You’ll also get real-time visibility into the status of every amendment along the way. Track the amendment’s status in the Resolution Center and find the forms in the Payroll Tax Center.
Note: Expedited amendments are currently only available for California customers filing amendments for Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, and Form DE9, California Quarterly Contribution Return and Report of Wages.
Free ACH payments in Bill Pay
In a nutshell: In QuickBooks Bill Pay, your clients can take advantage of unlimited free standard ACH to pay their bills.*
Rather than having to visit their bank’s app or website to pay bills, your client can now pay any number of bills through QuickBooks using standard ACH at no added cost.* Manage accounts payable, schedule or pay bills, reconcile the data, and save time, all in one place.
Count on QuickBooks to keep more tasks in one place while skipping transaction fees that can eat into your client’s margins.
Note: Transaction fees still apply to next-day ACH payments and those by check.
