I need to record a payment made in Jan for the 4th Quarter taxes.  However, the filing isn't in QB anylonger and there is no way to show the payment--because if I go to the record prior tax payments, it doesn't allow me to put it in the check register so it's there for the bank reconciliation.   Wasted so much time trying to get this to work.  This is on Quickbooks Online.  No filings or payments show .....

I'm here to help you record prior tax payments in QuickBooks Online, @cjharrison.

 

Here's how to record tax payment if it is not yet listed in your QuickBooks Online account:

 

  1. Go to the Taxes menu, then Payroll Tax.
  2. Choose the Payments tab and click Record tax payments (prior tax history).
  3. Select Add Payment.
  4. Pick a Tax Type, then enter the following:
  5. • Period Start Date and Period End Date - the period that the taxes were accrued
  6. • Payment Date
  7. • Check Number (optional)
  8. • Memo (optional)
  9. • Payment Amount
  10. Hit Submit payment.

 

I've also added this article that will help you identify what specific report you're going to use to keep track of your books about payroll: Run payroll reports.
