Question

I've filed our Texas unemployment tax online through the TWC website since the payment due was different from what Intuit has. How do I mark as filed and paid?

Hey there, @kristin-louisglo.

 

Let me provide you the steps on how to record a tax payment made outside Intuit. 

 

Recording these payments depends on the payroll subscription that you use. If you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, Premium, or Elite, you can follow these steps to record your tax payment:

 

  1. Go to Taxes and select Payroll Tax.
  2. Click the Payments tab.
  3. Review the payments listed and locate the tax you want to record a payment for.
  4. If the payment is listed, choose the option Mark as paid then select Yes, mark paid. 

 

Please take note that this will be a non-posting transaction. It will not affect the bank register, but it will clear the taxes from showing due and record the deposits.

 

If you're using the QuickBooks Online Payroll Enhanced, follow the steps in this article to record your tax payments:  How to enter tax payments made outside QuickBooks.

 

Additionally, you can run some payroll reports in QuickBooks. This way, you can get a closer look at your business's finances and view useful information about your business and employees.

 

I'm just a reply away if you have other questions with the QuickBooks Online Payroll. Just add the details of your concerns in this thread and I'll help you out.

Good morning!

 

I am having this exact same issue! I am on Quickbooks Desktop via RightWorks. 

 

I've attempted a Liability adjustment, however the TX Unemployment still shows as unpaid and also for a different amount than I paid on the TWFC website.

I can assist you with accurately recording tax payments in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, @WilliamLee2024. 

 

To keep a record of your past tax payments, you can use the payroll setup window available in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). This information helps QBDT calculate the outstanding amount that you owe to federal and state agencies accurately. You don't need to create a liability adjustment manually. Instead, I suggest deleting it to maintain precise records.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. Access the Payroll Setup Interview.
  2. Proceed to step 5 Year-to-Date Payrolls.
  3. Select Continue.
  4. If your company has issued paychecks this year, choose Yes and select Continue.
  5. On the next screen, you will have three choices: Paychecks, Tax Payments, and Non-Tax Payments. Select Edit on Tax Payments.
  6. If you need to enter historical paychecks, see Enter historical payroll data in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
  7. Print the Tax Payments Checklist. And consult with your accountant before proceeding.
  8. Select the arrow next to the quarter you would like to enter tax payments in.
  9. When a quarter is selected, the window will open all taxes owed within that quarter. There will be three columns: QuickBooks - Calculated Amount, Total Amount You've Already Paid, and Balance Remaining. Enter the payroll tax payments you've made.
  10. Once all payments have been entered for a quarter, select the next quarter and repeat the process until all tax payments have been entered.
    • If no tax payments have been made, Total Amount You've Already Paid should be empty and columns one and three should match. If they do not match there may be issues when the prior payroll was entered. Which will need to be addressed and corrected before continuing.
    • Once the payments are entered, balances in Balance Remaining may need to be paid.
  11. Select Done Entering in Tax Payments when you have completed entering payments.

 

I've included an article that will help you customized reports in QuickBooks Desktop: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I am here to assist you with any questions you may have regarding QDT Payroll. Please feel free to add any details about your concerns in this thread, and I'll do my best to help you out.

Thank you so much for the assistance.

 

Those steps did not seem to correct the issue. 

 

I filed and paid the TX Unemployment tax through the TWC website, and due to a previous overpayment had a credit, rendering the payment only $49.33.

 

However in Quickbooks Desktop, it shows a payment of $102.38 still due. I have tried everything to clear this tax liability, and it shows 9 days remaining to pay it.

 

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
