Payroll and Sales Tax

I hope I can get the answers I need.

I've been using quickbooks for a 100 years, but, I'm switching to quickbooks online, AND I'm with a new business. I am accustomed to a retail business, but now I'm with a Not for Profit Veterans Organization. I am trying to get things cleaned up, but I'm getting lost in many areas. My previous MBA Accountant that helped me has passed away. The two main areas searching for help.

1. Payroll - It is done outside of our organization as a donation, so we do need to pay for quickbooks payroll.

2. Sales Tax - All of our alchol sales include the sales tax, but, our food has tax added. How can I enter this in quickbooks online to keep the sales tax correct, as well as make the sales tax payment properly.

I can upload a copy of what our accountant sends us for payroll. The journal entry they've been doing is soooo not correct.

Hey nikkipost44,

Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community! Also, my condolences as well! For clarification purposes, are you asking if you would need to pay for QuickBooks Payroll even though payroll is done outside as donations? If so, you can create journal entries for paychecks you create outside of QuickBooks. This article is an excellent tool for manually entering payroll paychecks in QuickBooks Online.

For your second question, if you need to edit your sales tax, you can. QuickBooks will ask you to choose the filing frequency to remind you when the sales tax payments need to be paid. So please double-check with your tax agency to avoid problems in the future. The link below includes instructions on editing your sales tax, whether you have the automated sales tax feature or manual sales tax set up.
