How to record Sales Tax collected by a third-party from customers in QBO

We use third-party service to bill and collect Sales Tax from our customers via the Stripe portal.  We never receive these funds.  I need to post a manual journal entry for the Sales Tax Payable.  If I credit Sales Tax Payable and debit Undeposited Funds to record the liability, the liability will be debited and zeroed out once the payment clears our bank.  However, this will leave a balance in “Undeposited Funds” .  What am I missing?
