Question

Best way to track and pay local earned income and local services taxes?

Hello, 

 

In my state we have local earned income and local services taxes. I have it setup for each employee and the taxes are being withheld properly. What is the best way of tracking when these are due? This is in QB online payroll core. 

 

At least on my end, these taxes do not populate the payroll tax center upcoming tax payment list. Without it being there I can foresee easily forgetting to pay them. 

 

I know I can open a payroll tax liability report, but that doesn't help give me quick visual data on when to pay them and when they were paid. 

 

I have looked at this help article: Set up local taxes in Online Payroll (intuit.com) but step 3 does not match with what I see in the settings. Going to the gear icon > payroll settings > state tax, there is no local tax setting or anywhere to input any local tax info.
