Yes, there's an option to automate Philadelphia city wage tax filings if you've set QuickBooks as your preference in paying your taxes and filing your forms, @mtic. Let me provide further information and guide you through the process of changing your preference.
Once Auto-Pay/File is activated, it'll automatically handle tax payments starting from the first day of the following month. However, any tax liabilities incurred before activation must be manually processed, as the Tax Filing System will only manage future payments.
To change your taxes and form preference, follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings, then select Payroll Settings.
- From the Taxes and Forms section, select Edit.
- Choose the option Automate taxes and forms for QuickBooks to automatically pay your taxes and file your forms.
- Select Save, then Done.

For your second inquiry, QBO can adjust your Philadelphia city wages into a quarterly lump sum payment. To do this, you need to update your tax payment frequency to Quarterly. Here's the process:
- Click on the Gear Icon or Settings and navigate to Payroll Settings.
- Select your Philadelphia tax and adjust the frequency to Quarterly for tax payments.
- After making the changes, click Save.
Additionally, please note that tax liabilities are calculated based on each paycheck date. If it's not paid, these liabilities will accumulate accurately, allowing you to remit the total amount quarterly as required.
