Withholding Fed tax at vendor level
We want to automate the Bill -> Bill Payment to have tax withheld from the Total Invoice. Certain vendors (suppliers) are subject to tax withholding. We created a Discount Item called '28% Fed Tax Deduction' to be added to the vendor bill.
The 78% net amt (Total Bill amt - Tax Deduction) is to be paid to the vendor. The Tax Withholding of 28% is to be paid periodically to IRS, goes to account "1099 Federal Tax Withheld" - a liability account type.
With vendor bills created, we can pay to the vendors. But when it comes paying to the IRS, how do we create bill and make payment to IRS using 'Pay a single vendor' and keep track of payments made out of the liability account by customers, vendors?
