I paid my first quarter taxes do I need to list them in transactions as a payment so that it recognizes it paid?

I appreciate you for reaching out to us here on the Community page, @jmeyn50.

Yes, you have to add a transaction from the Transactions page and use Estimated taxes as Category. Also, if your bank is connected to QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) just select Estimated taxes for the category.

To add the payment manually:

1. Log in to your QBSE account, then click on Transactions at the left pane.
2. Tap on Add transaction above Add receipt.
3. Enter the date, description, as well as the amount of the payment.
4. Choose Estimated taxes under the Category column.
5. Click Save to record the transaction.
