Can anyone give me instructions on how to enter a property tax payment? I understand I need to accrue the payment over 12 months - can anyone provide an example?

Hi there, @alw4335. 

I hope you're enjoying the day so far. 

I found a similar thread where our champ user Rustler gives a great example of recording property taxes using a journal entry: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/taxes/question-re-tax-savings-account-and-property-taxes/00/1090377.

However, I recommend consulting with your accounting professional for a more in-depth explanation to record the property taxes based on your business needs. If you don't have an accountant, don't sweat it. You can find one here in our Resource Center. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Take care!

When you write the check (+ New > Check) to pay your taxes semi-annually, make sure you select the property tax liability account under 'Category' and it should work fine.  When you write a check, QB debits (reduces) the account selected under 'Category' (your property tax liability account in this case) and credits (reduces) your bank account.
