I have payroll taxes due, but didn't have automated taxes & forms checked. are the payments taken from what quickbooks automatically took out each payroll?

Yes, Ivy. QuickBooks automatically took out taxes from each payroll run. Allow me to elaborate further.

The Automated Taxes & Forms feature allows QuickBooks to automatically pay your taxes and file your forms for you. Regardless of this option, the program will still calculate your taxes automatically.

Since you mentioned that your payroll taxes are due, you can choose to pay them manually. Before doing so, please review your preferences to ensure that your settings are configured for "I’ll pay and file" to the appropriate agencies, either through their websites or by mail.

After that, follow step 2 (Pay and file your taxes and filings yourself) in this guide to complete the process: Set up QuickBooks Online Payroll to pay and file your payroll taxes and forms.

Additionally, here’s how to view your payroll tax payments and forms in the program: Access payroll tax forms and tax payments.
