Welcome to the Community forum, emeraldllc2020.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the automated tax payment and form filing feature are enabled by default. You can turn it off by following the steps below:
- Click the Gear icon at the top.
- Choose Payroll Settings.
- Go to the Taxes and forms section, clear the Automate taxes and forms checkbox.
- Click Save.
For more details about this process, see this article: Turn off automatic tax payments and form filings.
However, if you follow the above steps but unable to turn them off, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. They'll pull up your account in a secure environment and help you make sure your auto tax payment is off.
To reach them, click the ? Help button at the top-right corner and select Contact Us to talk with a live agent. Ensure to review their support hours to know when agents are available.
If you need additional assistance while managing your QuickBooks account, let me know. I'll be around to provide further assistance. Have a nice day.
