I am unsure if QuickBooks will automatically pay Ohio school district taxes. Are Ohio school district taxes paid automatically or do these need to be paid manually?

Hello @rob173, let's determine whether your QuickBooks setup automates the payment of Ohio School district taxes or requires manual intervention.

For users utilizing QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, you'll need to handle local taxes manually outside of QuickBooks. You can use the Payroll Tax Liability report to keep track of your local tax obligations effectively.

If you are subscribed to QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium or Elite, local tax payments and filings can automated, provided that the automated tax payment feature is active.

Let's check if the automated payment is on or manually set.
 

1. Navigate to Settings, then click Payroll Settings.
2. Under the Taxes and Forms section, select Edit.
3. Check one of the following:
   • If QuickBooks has been set to automatically handle tax payments and form filings, the setting used is Automate taxes and forms.
   • If manually initiates tax payments and filings using QuickBooks, the setting selected is I’ll initiate payments and filings using QuickBooks.
4. Select Save, then Done.
