How to unenroll from epay for virginia state unemployment commission

It says I am "automatically enrolled" . I don't want to file via "epay". I currently file via e-file directly on VEC website. It says I can change it to check vs epay but there is not a button to select check

Hello there, @Jennifer Seay.

Thanks for coming to the Community today. Since you're currently filing via e-file directly on VEC website, I'd suggest you change your method of payment through their website or by at www.vec.virginia.gov or by calling the VRS at 1-800-897-5630.

For future reference, you'll want to read this article: E-file state forms & e-pay state taxes separately. It also contains steps on changing the filing method of your state tax forms to Efile in QBDT.

Feel free to post again if you have additional concerns. I'm always delighted to be your guide. Take care!

The problem is with Quickbooks. When I go to Payroll to Pay Liabilities, QB will NOT allow me to manually cut the check. I cannot find a work around solution. When I go to Employees > Payroll Center > File Forms Tab, then go to bottom to >Change Filing Method. I should see "Unemployment Tax' as an option, but I do not even have this option at this part of the menu navigation.

I can help you manage your e-services, EvelynS.

To get the most up-to-date feature release, you can download the latest release of QuickBooks Desktop and the payroll tax table. Then, you can switch your payment method. Here's how:

From the Employees menu, select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities, and select Edit Payment Due Dates.
In the QuickBooks Payroll Setup window, select Schedule payments.
Select the scheduled payment to make using E-Pay, and select Edit.
In the Edit Payment Schedule window Payment (deposit) method field, turn off E-pay, and select Finish.
Select Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

For more details, you can click this link: E-file state forms & e-pay state taxes separately.

Let me know how this works so I can help you through it. Take care!

I've figured it out and am sharing in case any of you haven't found the answer yet.

At the top of the screen

- Click on "Employees"

- Go down to "Payroll Taxes and Liabilities"

- Click on "Custom Liability Check"

Pick your Quarter or Timeframe, and it pulls a list of all of the taxes available for payment for the timeframe selected. You can create a check to pay VEC (or another Liability) this way! Sorry quickbooks wasn't willing to help any of us!!

i am still having this issue

in fact when I go to Payroll Taxes and Liabilities

all the quarters of 2022 show unpaid

I've paid them through VA VEC

when will this be fixed ??

see all the comments

And then in early January it posted a summed $$ amount - (Not sure how that was calculated) into the check register, althought there isn't an amount due in 2022 Q4.

Hi there, CRGum.

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I can see how important it is to show the payroll taxes and liabilities as paid and managed in QuickBooks Desktop. I'll be sharing details on how taxes are reported on payroll forms, then ensuring you can handle all of the quarters of 2022 and show the tax liabilities as paid.

If you mean you paid your taxes via the VA website, but didn't enter the payment into QuickBooks, this could be the reason all of the quarters in 2022 were marked as unpaid. I recommend entering historical tax payments in QBDT so that the tax is not marked as overdue or unpaid on your end. QuickBooks Desktop uses this information to calculate how much you still owe to federal and state agencies, as well as to help ensure that your future tax deposits and filings are correct.

On the other hand, please know that taxes are calculated automatically once there's an employee is set up for the specific tax. You can click this article to see further details on how QuickBooks calculate taxes reported on your employees' paychecks and payroll forms: Understand how your payroll taxes are calculated.

Lastly, you may refer to this artilcle to view steps on how you can create a specific payroll report to see what you've paid out in your QuickBooks payroll: Create a payroll summary report in QuickBooks.

Don't hesitate to click the Reply button below if you still have concerns about taxes. I'm always around to help, CRGum. Have a good one!

2 full years later and this is still an issue. Flat out embarrassing. But then again, par for the course for Intuit and quickbooks. This is among the most absurd and egregious dinosaur turds the the developers have left in this disaster of a product, particularly since it involved payroll liabilities and government payments (serious things... if you don't think so, don't pay them for a while!).

Hat tip to shirleywelldrilling for finding a workaround that the company who develops and (supposedly) manages the product could not provide. Bravo!
