Welcome to the Community, Tony DND.
If you're trying to record a GST/BAS payment in QuickBooks Online and is using the GST centre to lodge your BAS, you can follow these steps on how to record it.
- Select GST, then navigate to the To Do tab.
- Select Record Payment on the activity statement you want to record a payment against.
- Enter the Amount paid.
- Select the Account the payment was withdrawn from and the Date of the payment.
- Enter a Memo for the transaction if required.

However, if you're not using the Lodge BAS function in the GST centre, you can record the GST/BAS payment via journal entry.
- Click on the + New button and select Journal Entry.
- For GST payment to ATO, select GST Liabilities Payable account and enter the amount of payment in Debit column.
- Select the bank account the payment has come out from in the second line of the journal and enter the same amount in the Credit column.
- Click Save and Close.
