Does Quickbooks process the taxes (federal forms 941/940) + CA state (forms DE9, DE9C) automatically every quarter?

Hi, @crossingearlycar.

I'll share some information about automatic processes of taxes. Local taxes aren't automated in QuickBooks Online Payroll Core. If you're interested in automating payments and filings, you may want to learn about upgrading your payroll service.
