When did I give Quickbooks permission to have a tax holding account? I really don't appreciate them taking control of my payments like this so how do you stop this?

We are here to provide clarity about the tax holding account and how it works, Blancordmulch.

The tax holding account in QuickBooks Online Payroll simplifies payroll tax management by automatically tracking, calculating, withholding, and managing taxes until their scheduled payment.

If you’re using QuickBooks Online Full-Service Payroll, tax payments are automated, reducing the risk of late penalties or filing errors. While designed for convenience, you can adjust settings or opt out to manually manage taxes if preferred.

Here’s how you can review and customize your payroll tax settings:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Select Payroll Settings.
3. Locate the Taxes and Forms section, then click the Pencil icon to edit.
4. Uncheck the Automate taxes and forms option and make changes according to your preferences.
5. Save your changes.
