Which steps are used to pay sales tax in QuickBooks?

• A. Write a check at the bank
• B. Enter Bills > Pay Bills
• C. Use a separate tax form
• D. Manage Sales Tax > Pay Sales Tax

Answer: (D)

Sales tax is tracked as a payable liability in QuickBooks, and remitting it is done through the built-in payment flow rather than outside the program. The correct path is to go to Manage Sales Tax and choose Pay Sales Tax. In that screen you select the tax agency, review the amount due, and record the payment. QuickBooks then reduces the Sales Tax Payable liability and records the cash outflow from your bank, keeping everything aligned with the actual remittance.

Writing a check at the bank, or using Enter Bills > Pay Bills, handles other parts of your accounts (vendor bills and external checks) and doesn't update the sales tax payable in QuickBooks in the same controlled way. While some forms may accompany tax filings, the payment itself is correctly recorded through Pay Sales Tax within the software.
