Make California DE 88ALL payments electronically

You can make California DE 88ALL payments electronically through Accounting CS. The procedure is similar to processing Federal Form 941. Use the following information to set up and process your California DE88ALL payment.
note
  • Because the DE 88ALL form is electronic only, it won’t be available to view or print in the
    Edit Payroll Tax forms
     or
    Process payroll tax forms
     screens.
  • If you're paying the California DE 88ALL liability outside of Accounting CS, you can print a nonsubmittable tax payment worksheet for your records.
