Hi Imp_star, you can record the payment on account using a journal entry (+ New > Journal Entry) - if you're unsure of which accounts to use here, we'd recommend reaching out to your bookkeeper or accountant for support. If you don't already have an accountant, you can find a QuickBooks certified ProAdvisor near you on our online directory. :)

Hi Imp_star, thanks for joining the Community. You can create a current liability account to track these payments (Cog > Chart of Accounts > New > Select account type Current liability > detail type Current tax liability > Rename > Enter the amount due in the 'unpaid balance' field and select the date > Save). Once created, record the payment using an expense (+ New > Expense), selecting the bank account that the payment was made from under 'payment account' > enter the date this was made > select the liability account under 'category' and enter the amount (with 'Amounts are' set to 'No VAT'). You should then see that the balance of the liability account in your CoA is back to zero.
