"Les tâches qu'on doit accomplir"
"Les tâches que l'on doit accomplir"
What's the difference between them and how do I use them correctly?

I believe both forms are grammatically correct (French is my mother tongue). However, "Les tâches que l'on doit accomplir" sounds more formal.

Both are correct. Propositions starting in "que l'on" represent (in my opinion) the last remains of using "l'on" instead of "on" on euphonistical grounds. Higher level of the language, better-sounding than the alternative.
A bit more information in le wiktionnaire and wikipédia (last paragraph in the linked section, but that version of the article smells amateur all over)

Les deux formes sont correctes, cependant on évite d'utiliser qu'on car il ressemble à con (connard: son of a bitch).
