How can I do this in Quickbooks desktop? My accountant is requesting that my Intuit Assisted service NOT efile my Q3 941. She wants to print it and efile it.
Let me help you manage your E-File and E-pay services for 941, @adthomas8.
Before we start, make sure to get the most up-to-date feature release in QuickBooks Desktop and the payroll tax table. This way, you can switch your payment method to file and pay Q3 941 taxes manually.
Here's how to update your filing method:
On the other hand, if you're unable to do this step in your Assisted Payroll, I recommend contacting our Technical Team. You can contact them through chat or messaging. Make sure to enable pop-up windows on your browser settings to launch the chat box and connect with our live agents.

In payroll settings, E File & E Pay is not an option
Hi there, @Deskjockey.
Thanks for joining this conversation. Allow me to hop in and share information about the e-file and e-pay option in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Are you trying to turn off the e-file and e-pay option as well? If so, you may be using a different payroll subscription. You can proceed to the Taxes and forms section instead. However, it is not recommended to turn this off this month (January) to prevent tax filing issues.
If you still wish to turn it off, here's how to do it:

This is no longer an option in QB Online. I have been trying for weeks to get it turned off and Intuit is giving me the run around. It's Frustrating!

How do I turn off a state e-pay, manual is not an option?
Hi vickiallely,
Thank you for joining in on the thread. I'll share information about E-pay.
Right now, the option to disable the E-pay payment method for state taxes is not available on QBO Payroll. We only have one switch, Automated taxes and forms, which will turn on or off the E-pay option for all applicable taxes. This is different from QB Desktop Payroll, where there is an option to choose a payment method for each tax item.
I understand that having the mentioned option is helpful for you. Feel free to submit a suggestion by going to the Gear icon and choosing Feedback. This way, our engineers can consider making changes in future updates.
Let me know if you have other concerns about QBO Payroll. Have a good one!
Question. I need to manually file and pay State Taxes for this quarter because we have omitted SUI for the owner / officers however two payrolls were run with accruals for SUI. If I turn off Automated payments temporarily, manually file and pay the State SUI outside of QBO online and then re-enable it after I have done so to file our Federal 941 will that work?
You can re-enable your automated payments after turning it off, @JEFFD7002. However, since you've already processed two payrolls, I'll direct you to the support team that can help you with this.
You can contact our payroll support team so they can assist you in correcting the two prior payrolls and help you with the next steps in manually filing and paying your state taxes. This way, you can ensure that the tax forms you'll submit are accurate and correct. Our customer care team has the necessary tools and expertise to help you in this situation. To contact them, here's how:
Please note that for QBO Core, our support time is available through Monday-Friday, from 6 AM to 6 PM PT. For QBO Payroll Premium and Elite, you can contact us any time of the day.
You can read this article for reference: Contact Payroll Support.

Feel free to get back to this post if you have other questions about automated payments in QBO. I'll make sure to answer it as soon as possible.
I did contact your online Payroll Support team and they indicated that they could not help me because they could only reverse ALL of the collected UI Premiums for all payrolls run for the LLC Members and not just two of them for Q2 2024. Unfortunately for the State of Oregon, all previous UI insurance premiums collected are non-refundable and if we report UI premiums at the beginning of the 2 year period we are required to pay these for 2 years going forward. I have to make sure we do not over-pay for Q2-2024 and that we do NOT report any wages for Q2 for these two members. Either can trigger obligations going forward.
Question: If I turn off Auto-payments and filings, will the scheduled payments in queue turn off as well or will those still be automatically paid and filed? If Auto-Payment is turned off today, will that halt any existing and future payments or only future payments that have not yet accrued?

Hello there, @JEFFD7002.
I appreciate what you've done so far. Allow me to provide additional information about turning off Automated taxes and forms in QuickBooks.
Turning off the option to automate tax payments and filings will stop the scheduled payments and you'll have to manually submit them instead. However, you can still receive notifications when your tax payments and form filings are due on your payroll To Do list.
To turn off the said feature, check the steps below.

Hi,
Certainly! To turn off e-pay and e-file in QuickBooks Online, follow these steps:
1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner.
2. Choose “Payroll Settings.”
3. Select “E-file and e-pay.”
4. Opt for the “Manually with paper coupons” option.
5. Click “Next” to save the changes1. If you’re using QuickBooks Desktop, you can update your filing method by going to the Employees menu, selecting Payroll Center, and choosing “Change Filing Method” under Other Activities12. Hope this helps!
This did not work. It did not cancel any existing / pending payments. It says that it won't go into effect until August 1st and that Quickbooks will handle and file all reports and payments until July 31st.
When I make this change it says it won't go into effect until August 1st, 2024 and that Quickbooks will handle all taxes and filings up to July 31st. I am trying to cancel the pending State Filings so I can remove our wages from the Unemployment Insurance which we will do outside of Quickbooks and report and pay outside of quickbooks.
Let me explain why it won't take effect until August 1st, 2024, when you make changes to your tax filing, JEFFD7002.
In QuickBooks, the tax payment schedule depends on the schedule you set up in the system. If you are classified as a quarterly depositor, the taxes for the current month will be due by the 15th day of the following month. Here's an example to clarify:
This is why it won't affect the changes when you modify it, as this is how the system handles quarterly depositors.
