Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, Dmat.
First off, if you use Intuit Payroll or pay taxes through QuickBooks, payments are scheduled according to your tax deposit schedule. You can check out this article for more info: Set up or change your payroll tax filing or payment schedules.
Here are the possible reasons for the two scheduled federal tax payments:
- Large payment amounts are split by QuickBooks.
- Payroll corrections or adjustments, adding a payment.
- Separate payments for different tax periods or liabilities.
- Manual entry or bank feed processing them separately.
Now, to further verify the cause of the two scheduled payments, you'll have to contact our Payroll Support team. They can investigate further via screen-sharing. Be sure to check their support hours for availability.
