We are using "Quickbooks online Payroll Core" but qbo does not generate/file NC-5 withholding return for us. How to prevent NCDOR from sending us unfiled notice?

To prevent the NCDOR from sending you an unfiled notice regarding the NC-5 withholding return, you'll need to prepare and file it manually, William.

First, generate a Payroll Summary by Employee report to retrieve data from QuickBooks before manually submitting:

1. Log in to your QBO account.
2. Go to the Reports section from the left navigation menu.
3. In the search bar, type Payroll Summary by Employee and select the report.
4. Set the date range for the report as needed.
5. Click Run Report to generate it.
6. Review and Print the report for your NC5 filing.

After this, visit the NCDOR website and download the NC-5 Withholding Return form. If you're submitting manually, ensure all entries on the physical form are accurate before mailing it to the specified NCDOR address. On the other hand, for electronic submission, log into the NCDOR's e-filing system, input the necessary information from your QuickBooks report into the online form, double-check for accuracy, and then submit.
