In desktop version we paid weekly, manually. Now have qbo and the automated feature pays monthly instead of weekly 941 payroll taxes.

I appreciate you for posting your concern in the Community forum, @ruth-mrgreenlawn. Let me assist you in changing your tax payment schedule in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Your payroll tax deposit schedule depends on your IRS or state agency. Since the automated feature pays your 941 payroll taxes monthly, you can change your tax payment frequency by navigating to your Settings in QBO. Please proceed to the following steps below:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon at the top, then click the Payroll Settings option.
  2. Next to the federal or state that has to be updated, click Edit.
  3. Select Edit from the How often do you pay your taxes? tab.
  4. Choose your new timetable and effective date, then hit Save.

Thank you for the reply, but there is no setting to "pay weekly" only semi-weekly. We have always paid weekly with the desktop version.

Hi there, @ruth-mrgreenlawn.

Allow me to chime in on this thread and provide information about tax payment frequency in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

In QuickBooks, the option to set the tax payment frequency to weekly is currently unavailable. You can only choose between Quarterly, Monthly, and Semiweekly as your payment frequency in QBO. 

For detailed information, kindly visit: Understand your tax payment frequency in QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, I'll also share this link where you can search for articles that can serve as your reference to guide you in managing your taxes in QuickBooks: QuickBooks Online Taxes Help Articles.
