It's great to see you here in the Community forum, @JoJo30.
You're on the right track by adding the department of revenue as a vendor and selecting the state's liability account category when writing a check for your sales tax payment in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
On the other hand, you can also record your tax payments on the Taxes page of QBO. Here's how:
- Select Sales tax from the Taxes menu.
- From the Sales Tax Owed list, choose the tax agency you're recording the payment for, then click Record Tax Payment.
- From the Bank Account dropdown, select the account you're making the payment from.
- Pick the Payment Date.
- Enter the tax payment amount in the Tax Payment field.
- Once ready, select Record Tax Payment.
You can read more information about this process in this article: Manage sales tax payments in QuickBooks Online.
I'd also recommend consulting your accountant for additional guidance in dealing with your tax payments. They'll also ensure that your books are accurate and avoid messing up your data.
Additionally, running a report to view your tax liability information is a breeze in QBO. It will also make it easy for you to see the taxes you need to pay and the ones you’ve already paid.
I'm just a post away if you need additional assistance to record tax payments in QBO. I'll be sure to get back to you. Wishing you and your business continued success.
