I am required to pay CRA my payroll taxes twice a month. How do I record this as QB only allows 1 payment per month?

How do you do that in QuickBooks Desktop?

How is this done in QB Enterprise. I don't see any place for the payroll tax payment frequency to be set up.

Hi there, hcarnduff.  

Currently, the option to set up a payroll tax payment frequency is unavailable in the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Canada version. However, you can manually process payroll tax payments by selecting the specific date ranges for which you wish to pay.  
   

Here's how:    
   

1. Navigate to the Employees tab, then select Payroll Liabilities. 
2. In the Date Range window, enter start and end dates for the incurred liabilities, then click OK. (Ensure the dates are accurate as they are used for generating PD7A and Payroll Liability Balances reports).
3. Click Pay Payroll Liabilities.
4. In the Pay Payroll Liabilities window, select the To be printed checkbox for cheques, choose Chequing Account, and enter the Payment Date.
5. Review the liability payment details and verify the Date range. 
6. Select the liabilities you want to pay. 
7. Optional, adjust amounts in the Amt. To Pay field if not paying in full.
8. Once done, click Create. 
    

For more details about the process, please refer to this article: Pay or adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop. 
 
To ensure accuracy, you can also generate the Payroll Liability Balances report to review the liabilities before making the payment.
