If you're self-employed, you must pay federal estimated quarterly taxes based on your earnings. Additionally, certain states demand their own estimated quarterly taxes. Consequently, you might have to manage two sets of estimated quarterly tax payments: one to the IRS and another to your state's tax authority.
While QuickBooks Self-Employed handles the computation of federal-estimated quarterly taxes, it does not perform the same service for state-estimated quarterly taxes.
To get state quarterly tax info, go to the IRS' list of state's Department of Revenue sites. You may also see your state's requirements and tell you how to make tax payments. Also, if you don't see your state, reach out to your state's tax franchise board or Department of Revenue.

That does not answer my question.
Hi there, @lakesideengineer. Allow me to chime in and provide clarification.
QuickBooks Self Employed is specifically created for self-employed individuals, focusing on monitoring income and expenses, estimating federal taxes, and generating basic financial reports. It calculates federal estimated quarterly taxes. However, it doesn't calculate state-estimated quarterly taxes.
See this article for more details: Do I need to pay estimated quarterly taxes for my state?
Once everything is all set, you may also want to check out one of our Help pages as your reference to guide you in managing your taxes in QBSE: Manage taxes in QuickBooks Self-Employed. It includes topics about estimated taxes, reports, and forms, to name a few.
Post here again if you have any other concerns about managing your self-employed taxes. I'm just around the corner to help. Have a good one.
My question is NOT how to calculate tax - I got that covered.
My question is about reporting the PAID State Estimate Taxes in any REPORT..
I see the taxes paid in TRANSACTIONS.
I would expect - since the state estimates taxes are in the category TAXES - that they show up in the report TAX SUMMARY under ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS, but only the paid FEDERAL estimated taxes show there, not the paid STATE estimated taxes!
If I run the TAX DETAIL report, the paid state taxes do not show up either!
So how do I keep track of it? Manually with a paper note???
I think there is a bug in the program, it should report paid taxes.
Thank you for getting back to the thread, @lakesideengineer. We appreciate your effort in clarifying your concern about the estimated state tax report not showing up on the Tax Detail and Tax Summary report in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). Let me share additional information to help clear things out.
We understand how you feel about the issue and the importance of tracking your estimated state taxes in QBSE. However, as said by my colleagues, QBSE only calculates federal estimated quarterly taxes. With that, the option to calculate and pull up a report for state-estimated quarterly taxes is currently unavailable. If you want to get your state's estimated tax information, you'll need to reach out to your state's tax franchise board or Department of Revenue. See this article for more details: Estimated quarterly taxes for my state.

Amazing that three replies from the QuickBook team and not one of you understood the question. The paid Federal estimated taxes are showing up under transactions but they're not coming through on the report! I am having the same problem. And they don't show up as paid under my tax page either....even though the transactions are "reviewed" and properly categorized in quickbooks. Let's see if someone can actually understand the question and answer it.
I have the same issue and feel your pain. Not one reply addressed your question correctly. Good luck to us!
