The simple answer is "no". They have no way of turning it off. I had to create some Excel sheets that I will in the data to get the correct sales tax collected in each county/city. Add a lot of time in by day but it is as close as correct as I can get it. I have been emailing QB about it for a year now and no answers. 

This feature was also not on QB Desktop so that is what is most frustrating. 

I feel that there will be a big class action lawsuit one day once someone gets audited and fails because of this feature in QBO.
