Payroll liabilities on quickbooks online.

Paying payroll liabilities in QuickBooks is a simple process, Markfoust. Happy to outline the detailed steps with you to achieve your task. 

 

Your subscription will determine how you pay payroll liabilities. If you have a QuickBooks Online Payroll membership, you can pay your liabilities by paying your taxes.

 

Go as follow: 

 

  1. Go to Taxes and select Payroll tax. 
  2. Click Pay Taxes and choose Record Payment for the tax you want to pay.
  3. Pick a payment date and complete the other details. 
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions. 

 

If you don't have a payroll subscription, I suggest creating a check (non-tax liabilities) or a Journal Entry ( taxable liabilities). For complete steps, visit the following links below: 

 

 

Also, check out the articles below to learn how to fix a tax underpayment, delete a tax payment, and deal with other similar concerns:

But how do you pay non tax payroll liabilities?  Is there a screen like desktop to let you know what you have withheld and when to pay them?

I'll share some tips on you can obtain that, angela-zacchini-.

 

Currently, QuickBooks Online(QBO) won't automatically create a check to pay non-tax liabilities such as health insurance premiums, 401(k) contributions, and child support. However, we can manually make a check for these payments in QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the +New button.
  2. Under Vendors, select Check.
  3. Select the vendor from the Payee drop-down arrow.
  4. Choose the account you use for liability payments from the Bank Account drop-down arrow.
  5. In the Category details section, select the account you use for tracking your liability payments and enter the amount.
  6. Fill in the other information needed.
  7. Hit Save and close.

 

Additionally, we don't have the option to know what we have withheld and when to pay them in QBO. We recognize the importance of this feature to our users. You can send feedback requests to our Product Development Team so they can check and consider this in future updates. I'll show you how to do it.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under Profile, select Feedback.
  3. Enter your suggestion.
  4. Hit Next.

 

In the meantime, we can run the Payroll Deductions/Conributions report. It'll give you a closer look at your employee's total wages, deductions, and tax information in a certain period. Just go to the Reports menu, then search Payroll Deductions/Contributions.

 

You can also run the payroll report to know your liability. It includes the description of each data and the information you can get.

 

Let me know if you have any clarifications about payroll taxes. I'll be with you to assist you further. Take care, and have a good one.
