Can I remit sales tax through QBO for my USA business if I subscribe to the QBO Simple Start plan?

Thanks for reaching out, maruf.

Yes, you can file your sales tax electronically if your business operates in one of the six states that have the e-file service available in QuickBooks Online.

If your state is included, here are the steps to file your sales tax:

1. Go to My apps, select Sales, then Sales tax returns. 
2. From the Action column, select File return. 
3. Select Add now to enter the tax details. You can also Edit if you need to make any changes. 
4. Follow the on-screen steps. 
5. Verify the tax details and add your payment information. Then, select the By submitting this payment I hereby: checkbox to acknowledge the declaimer. 
6. Select File and Pay.

To view the six states where sales tax e-file services are available in QuickBooks and learn about any additional subscriptions required, please refer to this article: File and Pay Sales Tax: File and pay sales tax.

If your state is not on that list, you will need to e-file on your tax agency's website or send your return by mail. After you file your sales tax return, you can then manually record the payment in QuickBooks to zero out your sales tax payable.
