Automatic Payroll Filing

Hi there, agrace1.
 

I can share some information about automatic payroll filing in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

The option to disable payroll taxes that were already processed electronically isn't available in QuickBooks Online. I'd recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. This way, they can help you cancel the tax payment.

Here's how to reach them: 

1. Click the Help menu in the upper-right-hand corner.
2. Type in "Talk to a human", then press Enter.
3. Look for I still need a human and click on it.
4. Click Get help from a human or Contact Support Team.
5. Select between Send a message, Schedule an appointment, or Get a callback.

Please check out our support hours to ensure that we address your concerns on time.

You can also read this article to know more about deleting tax payments: Delete a tax payment.

Just in case you want to turn off e-pay for one payment, feel free to check out this article for more details: Pay payroll taxes electronically or manually.

Please know that you're always welcome to comment below if you have other concerns or follow-up inquiries about managing your tax payments in QBO. I'm just around to help. Take care always.

I don't need to reverse the payroll tax payment. 

I just want to disable the automatic filing for one filing - the Arizona Unemployment Tax filing. I still need Quickbooks to automatically file my IRS Form 941 and AZ Quarterly Payroll Tax Filing.

Thanks for elaborating on what you want to achieve, @agrace1. 

To disable automatic filing for one period, you can turn this feature off to give you more control over making your tax payments and filing forms.

Here's how: 

1. Go to the Settings menu, then select Payroll Settings.
2. In the Taxes and forms section, click the Edit (pencil) icon.
3. Unmark the Automate taxes and forms checkbox.
4. Select how you plan on making your tax payments and filings.
5. Select Save.

Get back to us again if you have additional concerns about filing your payroll taxes. We're always glad to be at your service.

Is there a way that I can pick and choose what I want to be automated vs. manual? Or is it all or nothing? For example, if I want payroll taxes to be paid automatically, federal forms to be filed automatically, and state to be filed manually, all for the same period, is that possible?

Hi there, @agrace1. I can provide more insights about payroll filing in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Once you've enabled the automatic filing of your payroll taxes, your federal, state, and local taxes will be filed automatically. The option to file the state tax manually won't be available if the feature is on. Thus, you need to disable the automatic filing to submit the taxes manually. I understand that you still want Intuit to manage your other payroll taxes except for Arizona Unemployment Taxes. For now, I'd recommend introducing this idea to our product developers so they can consider this in future updates. Rest assured they're working nonstop to enhance the product and deliver the best experiences for all QuickBooks users.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QBO account.
2. Go to the Gear icon at the top, then Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
4. Hit Next.

Once submitted, you can track your request through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.
