Elite payroll says that it will AUTO pay for OHIO SD but the settings are on, the employee is set up for deduction, but it has a green PAY button to do it manually? The other payroll taxes was paid by QBO. Do does QBO pay the Ohio SD taxes?
Hi Cmon1072,
Thank you for reaching out! I understand how important it is to maintain accurate payroll tax records, especially when certain taxes are automatically deducted by QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBO). Let me clarify the process for you so that you can manage your next payroll tax payment effectively.
Yes, QBO Elite does automatically pay Ohio School District (SD) taxes, but it will not auto-pay the very first one if it determines that you started the process mid-period. You will see a "PAY" button today, which you will need to click to make the first payment manually. After this, the system should take over for all future runs. The green button serves as a safety check; QuickBooks requires you to manage this initial payment manually to ensure everything is set up correctly before it begins processing payments automatically going forward.
Please note that you must process any outstanding taxes first ; otherwise, the system won’t be able to automatically process future tax payments. Once you enable the Auto-Pay/File feature, it will handle tax payments and filings starting on the first day of the following month.
For more information about automatically paying your payroll taxes and filing your forms, please refer to this article: Set Up Payroll Taxes and Forms in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
