How do i Pay Sales Taxes in Quickbooks?

Important: Don't pay your sales tax using the Write Checks window, as this will cause errors in your bookkeeping and in your sales tax reports.

To do this task

1. Before you pay your sales tax, you may want to run a sales tax liability (sales tax due) report. You can use the information in this report to help you fill out your state sales tax forms.
2. Go to the Vendors/Company menu and click Pay Sales Tax.
3. If you have more than one checking account, choose the one you want to use for these tax payments in the Pay From Account.
4. In the Show sales tax due through field, make sure that the date is correct.
5. In the Starting Check No. field, verify that the check number matches the next check that you want to use. If not, change the number here.
6. The list of payments shows all sales taxes that your company owes and any adjustments you've made. For each sales tax item, the list shows the tax agency (vendor) to which the sales tax is payable and the amount due as of the date shown above.
   Select the sales tax agencies (vendors) you want to pay.
7. (Optional) If you want to make a partial payment to a tax agency, click in the Amt. Paid column and edit the amount.
8. (Optional) If you still need to make an adjustment for a credit, fine, rounding error, etc., click adjust.
9. (Optional) If you want to print the check(s) later or by hand, clear (uncheck) the To be printed checkbox.
10. Click OK.
11. (Optional) If you want to check the sales tax payment transactions or add memos to them, you can view and edit them in the sales tax payable account register.
