I keep getting an error when trying to pay my MD unemployment Tax. How can I fix this?

"Oops! We found a problem. Encountered an error while approving tax payment. Please try again later." That is the error I keep getting. What does it mean?

I keep getting an error when trying to pay my MD unemployment Tax. How can I fix this?

It sounds like this error message in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP) requires a closer look at real-time assistance; therefore, I recommend contacting our live support team, and I will connect you to them, Appsmentalhealth.

 

They can run a series of tests to identify the root cause of this error message. If you receive a new form or tax schedule from the IRS or a state agency, promptly update your QBOP to ensure accurate and timely tax submissions. Additionally, ensure you have sufficient funds to cover payroll taxes when they are due.

 

Here's How:

 

  1. Go to the Help icon in the top right-hand corner.
  2. Select Search and open any article, then press the Contact Us button.
  3. Select a topic or enter your question in the box and hit Continue.
  4. Choose the best way you'll want to reach out to us.

 

They can accommodate you Monday to Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM PT.

 
As a workaround, some customers have been successful in e-paying their payroll taxes after selecting a different payment date.

Additionally, you can check this article on how to create a payroll summary report to see what you've paid out in your QuickBooks payroll: Create a payroll summary report in QuickBooks.

 

If you find yourself needing a little bit more help with managing your tax payment or QBO payroll-related queries, I'm always here and ready to lend a hand.
