Thanks for joining in on this thread, Brenda100000.
There's no need to call in. I have the steps to help you record the federal tax deposit. It only takes a few easy steps.
To record a tax payment made outside of QuickBooks Online, you can follow these steps:
- Go to Taxes > Payroll Tax.
- Click the Payments tab.
- Review the payments listed and locate the tax you want to record a payment for. If the payment is listed, choose the option Mark as paid then select Yes, mark paid. Note: This will be a non-posting transaction. It will not affect the bank register, but it will clear the taxes from showing due and record the deposits.
If in case the payment is not listed in the Payments page, you can use the Prior tax history and record it manually. Please make sure you have the amount for the Federal Tax details.
- From the Payments tab, scroll down to the Payment resources section.
- Click the Prior tax history link.
- Select the Add Payment button. Note: This will be a non-posting transaction. It will not affect the bank register, but it will clear the taxes from showing due and record the deposits.
- Select tax type and liability period (the period that the taxes were accrued) then enter: Payment Date, Check Number (optional), Notes (optional), and Tax Item Amounts.
- Hit OK. You will then be back to the Prior Tax Payments screen.
For more details, you can check out this article: Recording prior tax payments.
Once recorded, you can run the Payroll Tax Payments report to verify that your tax payment was recorded.
Here's how:
- Go to Reports.
- Type Payroll Tax Payments in the search field.
- Select the Report period and look for the tax payment you recorded.
In addition, you can read these article to learn more about the payroll reports and how you can customize them:
