payroll tax returns

Yes, for most forms this is two different processes.

Some states required that the eFile form liability be paid as you file, in one submission.  If you're seeing something like as you try to file, then that is probably the case.

Hello, unclelew.

Yes. You would still be able to send your payroll tax form electronically even if you still have balance due. For 941, you can always E-file the form as long as the balance due don’t exceed $2500.

Aside from E-filing your tax forms, you can also pay your liabilities electronically. Please refer to this article for more information: https://community.intuit.com/articles/1762975-e-pay-940-and-941-944-in-quickbooks-desktop.
