Paying witholding and sales tax?

I am using QB Basic 05 in Michigan but I assume that all states would be the same. When I pay the witholding the form also includes Sales Tax. When I pay payroll liabilities it creates a check. When I pay sales tax liabilities it again creates a check. Both of these checks are to the same payee and the same address. Is there a way to combine these checks? I only pay this quarterly so writing two checks is not a big deal but it seems that there should be a way to combine these checks.

Actually, it is NOT the same in all states. Here in NJ sales tax and payroll withholding go to seperate agencies. Also, in NJ there is a tax form filed with quarterly payments for withholding as well as a tax form for sales tax liabilities.

From an accounting standpoint there are different accounts used for payroll liabilities and sales tax. The mechanism by which you pay your tax liabilites within QuickBooks relies on reports on each specific liability account. The accounts are linked to seperate data sections in the program (sales, vs. payroll). So no, there is no way within QB to combine the liability checks.
