Hello Folks !

QBDT PR user here -

My Maryland UI will create an e-file for the form, but I can not get it set to send the remittance to the state as an EFT/ ACH transaction. It used to work in the past, but several cycles ago, I set it to manual (hence - print a check) that I have to go manually to the Beacon site to send the remittance.

Can some kind soul tell me if I can still submit for an ACH with the file submission and how to set it so it works correctly?

Thank you all!

Good afternoon jeffspharmacy, I will be more than delighted to assist to be that kind soul. Just note, if you have already paid manually, you cannot use E-pay for that same period. However, here are the steps to re-enable ACH:

Go to Employees > Payroll Center.
Select the File Forms tab.
Under Other Activities, select Manage Filing Methods.
Select the Maryland UI form (e.g., MD119/MARA) and click Edit.
Select E-file and E-pay (instead of manual/file) and click Finish.
Ensure your bank account information is updated in the E-pay accounts section.

Now, I am adding how to submit the payment.

Go to the Pay Scheduled Liabilities tab in the Payroll Center.
Select the tax payment and click View/Pay.
Choose E-file & E-pay when submitting, rather than just "E-file.

If you are unable to set up E-pay through QuickBooks, you can still use the program to create the e-file for the forms, but must pay via Maryland’s website to avoid penalties. Let me know if you have any diffuculties. My team and I will be here to help.
