Not to worry, robert-corwin-au. I'm here to make sure you can record a payment for TX unemployment tax in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can create a liability payment to pay your unemployment tax. I'll walk you through the steps:

 

  1. Click + New, then select Check.
  2. From the Bank Account dropdown, choose the account you use for liability payments.
  3. From the Choose a payee dropdown, choose the vendor.
  4. In the Account details section, select the account you use for tracking your liability payments then, enter the amount. If you’re not sure which account/s to select, follow these steps to check your liability preferences:
    1. Select the Payroll menu.
    2. Go to the Employees tab then, select Payroll Setup.
    3. In the center column, select Accounting.
    4. Under the Tax Liability Accounts, you will see your current liability preferences.
  5. If you have sub-accounts for each agency you are paying, make sure to point to those specific accounts and enter the appropriate amount for the agency.
  6. Fill in the rest of the check, and then select Save.

 

If you want to view all of your payroll taxes, you can pull up the Payroll Tax Payments report. Simply go to the Reports page, then search for Payroll Tax Payment
