Hi, In QBO, the payroll tax remittance period assignment based on pay period or pay date? For example, when running payroll, pay period is  Jan 16 to Jan 31 2023. Pay Date  is Feb 2, 2023 .The payroll remittance belong to period of  Jan 1 to Jan 31 or Feb 1 to Feb 28?

Could you please clarify this question for me. Thanks

Hi there JANECCC1,

 

It's important that all your payroll information is correctly entered in your books for the pay runs to be done accurately. QuickBooks Online Payroll is a great tool able to help calculate deductions on payroll to then be able to remit them to the government. I can provide some information about payroll liabilities.

 

If a payroll is run for the January 16th to 31st pay period, but the pay date is February 2nd, then the pay is considered to be a February for the liability payment due to the date of the pay itself.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
