As you are probably aware by now, Intuit recently made QuickBooks 2009 R9 available. This
release was to include
certain enhancements and significant changes. Shortly
thereafter, Intuit realized that R9 implementation broke Sales
Tax reporting and notified everyone of the impending arrival of
R10 to rectify the problem.
Well, it appears Intuit was a little overly optimistic -- but
they realize the seriousness of the issue and have tried to
minimize the problems for QuickBooks 2009 users. Since they
believe the Sales Tax Liability Report is the report most often
used to file
sales tax returns, they have given this their highest priority
and R10 fixes this report. R10 has been moved to Automatic
Update status.
R11 will follow soon. The release will address both the Sales
Tax Liability Report and the Sales Tax Revenue Summary Report.
What You Need to Remember
- CRITICAL: Make sure you get the R10 update
now to correct the R9 problems.
- CRITICAL: Make sure you get the R11 update as soon as it is available.
- QuickBooks 2009 R9
fixes an ActiveX security problem for
users of QuickBooks 2009, 2008, and 2007 (QuickBooks
2006 is no longer supported; the fix is not required for
QuickBooks 2010)
- QuickBooks 2009 R9
IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE -- EVEN WITHIN THE SAME PRODUCT (however,
the Accountant's copy IS backwards compatible for 2009
and 2008 versions)
- CRITICAL: Whether you update from R8 in sequence or not, only
the first update from R8
will also require a server update. After that, further
updates will proceed as usual.
