Overview

Does AvaTax need to be installed on every computer, or just the server that holds the company file?

Environment

QuickBooks Desktop

Resolution

  • The AvaTax software needs to be installed on each Company File in QuickBooks
  • If you host the company file on a server, you will install AvaTax on the server first
    • Then install the same AvaTax version on each workstation that uses QuickBooks
  • If you use a terminal server, then only the server needs AvaTax installed
    • Anyone who is able to access the terminal server will be able to use AvaTax
