It's nice to see you here today, @fredcoia. I'll be happy to address your queries about paying your state taxes directly from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
The ability to pay and file state forms and taxes depends on your payroll subscription. If you're using QBDT Payroll Enhanced, you can pay taxes and file forms electronically to ensure you stay compliant with the state agencies.
First, ensure you're set up to e-file and e-pay your state taxes and forms. Then, please note that there are different filing and payment methods depending on your state tax. For Connecticut Withholding tax, you can e-file and e-pay separately.
To e-pay a state tax payment:
- Go to Employees and select Payroll Center.
- From the Pay Liabilities tab, select the state liability to pay. Check the Submit Date column.
- Click the View/Pay button.
- Select the E-pay button.
- When prompted, enter your state login credentials. Then, hit Submit.
To e-file a state form:
- Click Employees, select Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s, then Process Payroll Forms.
- Choose the state form you want to file, then select Create Form.
- Set the form filing period, then OK.
- Click Next to review all pages.
- Select Check for Errors. The system will detect and list any errors on the form.
