Hello there, natalieortiz,
You may want to enter the Transient Occupancy Tax manually so you track this local tax. However, you won't be able to pay sales tax through the Sales Tax Center since it uses a special liability account that you can't link to products and services.
Let me show you how:
Step 1: Create an Other Current Liability account
Step 2: Create a Sales Tax item
Step 3: Add the item to your sales transactions
To determine the amount of sales tax owed:
To pay the sales tax from this other current liability account:
Check out the Sales tax in QuickBooks Online page to help you manage your local taxes.
Upon sharing this solution, I still suggest consulting your tax accountant. He/She might have specific instructions on how to handle the Transient Occupancy Tax collection.
Stay in touch if you need additional information. I'm always right here to help.

Hi Wendi, I understand how important it is for you to have a simpler way to record and add a transient occupancy tax in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I am here to help you with this.
Currently, you can manually add the transient occupancy tax to track this local tax. However, you won't be able to pay sales tax through the Sales Tax Center. This is because the Sales Tax Center uses a special liability account that you can't link to products and services.
To get started, you can create an Other Current Liability account. Next, create a sales tax item and add the item to your sales transactions. For detailed instructions, please refer to the steps provided by our colleague above.
