Let me share some insights about paying sales tax, Isaac.
It's more efficient to set up the government entity as a single tax agency or vendor rather than creating separate vendor accounts for different types of taxes. You can use tax codes to differentiate between them. For your reference, visit this article: Set up sales tax in QuickBooks Desktop.
Once you have set up your sales tax, you can begin paying it. Before paying, you can run a Sales Tax Liability report to ensure the information is correct when you fill out your state/provincial sales tax forms. Avoid using the Write Checks or Pay Bills windows in paying to minimize errors in your bookkeeping and reports.
Instead, you can use the Pay Sales Tax window. This shows the amount of sales tax you owe for each sales tax item and any adjustments you've entered that you need to apply to your payments.
