I live in PA where we have "Local Taxes". I'm able to add these Local Taxes to my "Prior Tax History" but cannot get it added into my Register. Any ideas how to do this

Welcome to the Community space, scamygordon.

Recording prior tax payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is a non-posting transaction. Thus, it will not affect the bank register, but it will clear the taxes from showing due and record the deposits. This is the reason why it doesn't post on your register.

To learn more about recording your tax payments, see this article: Recording prior tax payments.

I've found this answer on your questions page.  However, I really need to know how to manually post it to my register since it is taken from the bank account - which will need to be reconciled.

Let me guide you on how you can post the tax payment to the register, scamygordon.

Generally, creating sales forms like invoices or sales receipts is one of the best ways to record transactions for your business.  You'll want to add transactions manually by following the steps below:

1. Click the Gear icon, then select Chart of Accounts. 
2. Locate the account you want to view.
3. Select View register from the Actions column.
4. At the very top of the list, select the Add journal entry, Add check, or Add deposit dropdown menu.
5. Select the type of transaction you want to add.
6. Fill out the fields to complete the transaction.
7. (Optional) Add a note under the Memo field so you'll be reminded what the payment is for. 
   
8. Click Save.

You may also want to reach out to your accountant for the correct category to use.
