CarlSJ, Thanks so much for the quick response. I have a couple of follow up questions. 

A. You stated "Second, the Tax Center does not automatically create proper expense entries in QBO. That's why you'll need to record each tax payment in the Tax Center from the oldest to the newest." So are you saying when I do record each tax payment in the Tax Center, a proper expense WILL be created In QBO? 

B. If the answer is YES, where will it be created? Which account in my Chart of Accounts will I find that expense record?

I'm sure I'll have additional questions as I sort through this issue.  Thanks again!
