I am self-employed and usually owe city taxes at the end of the year. What are these taxes for and how do I categorize that in Quickbooks self-employed? Is it a business expense or a personal expense?

Someone could be more helpful if you tell us what city and what state you are in, and if you work and live in the same city.

 

TurboTax only prepares a few city or local tax returns as an extra step in your state return.  For most local tax returns you are on your own.  You may have to ask around amongst your neighbors, etc. to find out if you have a local tax and how to pay it. “Google “ local tax for your area.  Call your city government, etc.  Your only record of paying your local tax will be your own bank/credit card records
