Electronic State Income Tax Payments

This isn't the kind of impression we want you to leave with, @jonsmalljon.

At this time, we have a reported case about the error when paying electronic taxes. Rest assured our product engineers are working on the fix. As a workaround, you'll want to pay your state tax directly to the state agency's website. 

Also, to ensure you'll get an update about the resolution status, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. This way, they can add your company to the list of affected users.

Here's how to reach out:

1. Go to Help.
2. Select Contact Us.
3. Enter a brief description of the issue, then tap Continue.
4. Click either Chat or Callback.

I'm also attaching a link about payroll in case you need help with payroll-related tasks. It has our general payroll topics with articles that'll guide you through the process.

Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns about paying payroll taxes. I'm more than willing to answer them for you. Take care and have a good one.

Thanks, Shiella.

I have done this more than once.  I have case numbers, etc.  But nothing has changed and no one notifies me of any issues.  They just say that it will be fixed and then nothing happens.  I will attempt to reach out again.  It is unfortunate that there is no email help.  Apparently "help" is only available during business hours.  Why do I have to chat or call business hours?  Is email help not possible?  My hours are different that yours.  

I can help you sort things out, @jonsmalljon.

Normally, you'll get an email notification from our team about the status of the reported case. I suggest you check your spam and/or junk folders to make sure that emails from us are not blocked. You can reply through email as long as it gives you the option.

To make sure that someone is available to assist, you'll need to contact support during business hours.

If you want to follow up on the ongoing investigation, you can contact Payroll Support through chat or by phone.

Let us know if you have other questions about this matter or with QuickBooks. We'd love to assist anytime. Stay safe!

I had another long phone chat with customer service regarding this problem.  The outcome was: "just wait". Even though I've been waiting for 4 months, that is the only thing they offer.  They say that it is in the hands of the state to respond, which may be true, but they offer no help to resolve it.  They have no record of their state request that they are willing to show me.  The customer service agent was very understanding and polite, but she could do nothing but say "sorry".  I asked if it is possible to contact the state again to make sure they got the request:  She said that I could call them myself.... but could not tell me who to speak to or what I'm supposed to ask them.  The value of this payroll service is severely diminished for me when I have to manually pay my tax and manually enter it into the system.  Probably have to switch if something does not get fixed by year end.  FYI: I used to receive this service free through Bank of America, but 4 months ago I was forced to switch to a paid plan at $49/mo.  The fact that the service doesn't fully function just adds another layer of disappointment.

Did you end up finding a resolution? I seem to be having the same issue.
