My client did not pay the full amount of the payroll taxes in one payment. How do I "record payment" of a different amount than is due for the month?

Hi ChrisFlow,

I know how important it is to record your tax payments accurately. QuickBooks Online has a comprehensive Sales Tax module that helps keep you on track. I can guide you down the right path. 

Sometimes it's necessary to make changes to your sales tax payments. Here's an article that goes through recording, adjusting and deleting sales tax payments: Manage sales tax payments in QuickBooks Online.

If you have any further questions after reviewing the article, reach back out. I'm here to help. Take care.

Not very useful, but nice effort, Tammy.   I specifically spoke of payroll taxes.  You answered me for sales taxes.

Sorry ChrisFlow, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I sent you that. You can delete a Payroll tax payment by following these steps:

1. Go to Taxes.
2. Select the Payroll tax tab.
3. Choose View tax payments you have made.
4. Click on the tax payment, and click Delete.
5. Confirm Yes.

At this time, QuickBooks Online Payroll doesn't have the option for Paying partial payments. You can make use of a journal entry to keep track of the remaining liability.  I know different businesses have different needs, so any feedback you submit is greatly appreciated and helps our product development team know which features you care about most. 

I hope this makes a lot more sense for your question. Let me know if you have any other questions.
