Iowa GovConnect Integration for Withholding Taxes

Hi there, @nlgordon. Thank you for reaching out to the Community. I can help you record your tax payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

We are aware of this situation and we are still communicating with the State of Iowa agency to ensure that we comply with the new tax system before releasing the update. You can still run payroll of your employees.

For now, after you've run payroll you can get a report for the payroll taxes, then manually pay the state taxes outside QuickBooks. After that, record your payment in our program. Ensure that the auto tax payments and form filing status is turned off.

Here's how:

1. Go to Settings, then select Payroll Settings.
2. In the Taxes and forms section, click Edit.
3. Clear the Automate taxes and forms checkbox.
4. Choose I'll pay and file the right agencies through their website or by mail.
5. Select Save.

Once done, you can follow the steps in this article to record the payment: Recording prior tax payments.

We also recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. They have the tools to verify your account and help you further with the process.

To contact them:

1. Login to your QBO  account.
2. Go to Help and enter your concern about the Iowa new tax system.
3. Choose More payroll tax help, then Connect me to a human.

You may contact them within the support hours to get assisted right away.

For more information about Iowa payroll tax regulations, you can check out this article: Payroll Tax Compliance.

I'll be around if you have any questions with the steps I've provide about turning off the autopayment for taxes. Take care always.

Good morning - we have multiple clients with this same issue.  What is the status of QBO addressing and updating the product to allow for payment of tax and filing of forms with GovConnect Iowa?  The state moved to this new system over a year ago now.

Thanks,
Dave
