Task 6: Pay payroll taxes

Consult your accountant or the appropriate government agencies if you’re unsure about how or when to pay payroll taxes.

Payroll Tax Forms

You can use the Payroll Tax Forms service to generate and electronically file your state and federal payroll forms using information extracted from your company file. These include withholding tax forms, unemployment wage forms, and new employee forms.

Before you can file your payroll forms electronically, you need to register for the Payroll Tax Forms service. For more information about this service, including how to register, see ‘Set up Payroll Tax Forms’.

If you haven’t registered, you can view a demonstration of the forms available. However, they cannot be electronically filed.

If you decide not to register for Payroll Tax Forms, you can use the Pay Liabilities feature to select and clear withheld amounts to the appropriate government agencies. For more information, see ‘Payroll liabilities’.
