reconciling payroll with bank statement

I think QuickBooks is taking out your federal taxes. I pay myself $400 per week. I would print out a hard check each week. The amount of the check was for $344. I didn't have direct deposit until yesterday. 

My new check amount is $322. Because my state withholding is now being taken out.

I don't know how to pay the taxes though.

I'd be glad to help you pay your payroll taxes, Frank.

You just need to follow these steps on how you can create a tax payment in QBO:

1. Go to Taxes menu and select Payroll Tax.
2. Click Pay Taxes.
3. Look for the tax that you want to pay, then click Record payment.
4. Follow the succeeding prompts to create and print the liability check.

You can also sign up for e-services so you can pay your taxes electronically. Here's an article as a guide: Pay And File Payroll Taxes Online.

Hi I'm using Intuit payroll and direct deposit, I can see paychecks, and have paid the taxes and filed the returns but when I use bank feeds to import the bank transactions.

1. I cant figure out how to apply the tax e-payments. I select a transaction from salaries and wages where the total excluding employer tax is shown I cant find an account where the actual tax is and if it is registered as paid. The net wage liability and payment is showing up in a  direct deposit account so I am not sure if the bank feeds from the bank are a duplicate I am not sure how to reconcile the bank feed transaction and which account to assign it to.  It is not automatically matching the payments to the direct deposit checks in the direct deposit account.is it a duplicate the direct deposit checks are not showing in the bank account reconciliation list.
2. when I look at the payroll tax account none of the taxes paid are showing in this account I don't know where intuit payroll assigns it. I can only see it in the paycheck detail but not in the chart of accounts list. Also I cant reconcile this in the bank account reconciliation I don't know which account type to select. When I select they paycheck details the echeck says it is a zero balance yet if i click on the paycheck detail I can see the amounts but as soon as I go to epay the amount on the check says zero. Its very strange.
