Good day, wheelsontop. I'd be pleased to help turn off your e-pay and e-file services for your state in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can follow the step-by-step process below in turning off the e-services feature in QuickBooks Online.

 

  1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner and choose Payroll Settings.
  2. Select E-file and e-pay.
  3. Choose the option to Manually with paper coupons.
  4. Hit Next.

 

For other references, you can read through the following articles in case you need help with changing your state account number as well as when your tax payment and filing deadlines:

Hope you're doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about turning off your e-pay and e-file feature. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I'd be happy to help you at anytime.

 

Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!

How can I do this in Quickbooks desktop?   My accountant is requesting that my Intuit Assisted service NOT efile my Q3 941.  She wants to print it and efile it.

Let me help you manage your E-File and E-pay services for 941, @adthomas8.

 

Before we start, make sure to get the most up-to-date feature release in QuickBooks Desktop and the payroll tax table. This way, you can switch your payment method to file and pay Q3 941 taxes manually.

 

Here's how to update your filing method:

  1. From the Employees menu, go to Payroll Center.
  2. Go to the File Forms tab.
  3. Under Other Activities at the bottom, select Change Filing Method.
  4. In the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Setup, select Filing methods.
  5. Double-click the Federal Form 941 from the list.
  6. In the Filing Method options, select Print and Mail, then Finish.
  7. Once done, hit Finish Later.

 

On the other hand, if you're unable to do this step in your Assisted Payroll, I recommend contacting our Technical Team. You can contact them through chat or messaging. Make sure to enable pop-up windows on your browser settings to launch the chat box and connect with our live agents.

 

To reach us, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks and click the Help menu.
  2. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. On the pop-up screen, select Contact Us.
  4. Type your concern in the What can we help you with? box.
  5. Hit Continue, then scroll down to get your contact options (Chat or Have us call you).

 

In case you want to file your Quarterly federal taxes in this year's final quarter, you can follow this guide: Set up your Federal Forms,941 for e-file in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Feel free to update me on how it goes. I'll make sure to assist you more if you need anything else with the payroll and tax settings in QuickBooks Desktop. Stay safe and well!

I did contact your online Payroll Support team and they indicated that they could not help me because they could only reverse ALL of the collected UI Premiums for all payrolls run for the LLC Members and not just two of them for Q2 2024.  Unfortunately for the State of Oregon, all previous UI insurance premiums collected are non-refundable and if we report UI premiums at the beginning of the 2 year period we are required to pay these for 2 years going forward.   I have to make sure we do not over-pay for Q2-2024 and that we do NOT report any wages for Q2 for these two members.  Either can trigger obligations going forward.  

Question:  If I turn off Auto-payments and filings, will the scheduled payments in queue turn off as well or will those still be automatically paid and filed?  If Auto-Payment is turned off today, will that halt any existing scheduled / future payments or only future payments that have not yet accrued from payrolls not yet processed?

Hello there, @JEFFD7002.

 

I appreciate what you've done so far. Allow me to provide additional information about turning off Automated taxes and forms in QuickBooks.

 

Turning off the option to automate tax payments and filings will stop the scheduled payments and you'll have to manually submit them instead. However, you can still receive notifications when your tax payments and form filings are due on your payroll To Do list.

 

To turn off the said feature, check the steps below.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then choose Payroll Settings.
  2. In the Taxes and Forms section, select the Pencil icon.
  3. Clear the Automate taxes and forms checkbox.
  4. Select how you plan on making your tax payments and filings.
  5. Hit Save, then Done.

 

To learn more about payroll taxes and filings, visit this article: Set up QuickBooks Online Payroll to pay and file your payroll taxes and forms.

 

To view your payroll tax payments and forms in the program, check out this guide: Access payroll tax forms and tax payments.

 

If you have any other questions or concerns besides automated payroll tax, add them to your reply. I’ll be here anytime.

When I make this change it says it won't go into effect until August 1st, 2024 and that Quickbooks will handle all taxes and filings up to July 31st.  I am trying to cancel the pending State Filings so I can remove our wages from the Unemployment Insurance which we will do outside of Quickbooks and report and pay outside of quickbooks.
