Adjust changing annual liability

I have a payroll liability set up for Officer's Life Insurance that is paid annually. The amount increased this year and I am unsure how to adjust the liability so I am able to pay the correct amount. For example - the payroll liability annual amount is $2400 however the invoice for the life insurance is $2900 - thus I need to adjust the liability by $500 to pay the correct amount. How do I make the liability adjustment and how will it affect the paycheck going forward since the difference is being paid in arrears?

  2. Choose Adjust Payroll Liabilities
  3. Pick Employee Adjustment
  4. Select the employee. 
  5. Complete the Taxes and Liabilities fields. 
  6. Choose the Accounts Affected.
  7. Tap OK.
