How does one enter a partial payment of a payroll liability using the payroll module?

Hi there, 

QuickBooks Online makes it easy to enter a partial payment and I'll be glad to help you record it in QB Online.

Here are the steps on how to record a manual tax payment:

1. Select Taxes from the left menu, and then Payroll Tax.
2. Click Enter Prior Tax History.
3. Click Add Payment.
4. Select the tax type and the liability period then enter:
   • Payment Date
   • Check Number (optional)
   • Notes (optional)
   • Tax Item Amounts
5. Click OK.
6. You will then be back to the Prior Tax Payments screen.

Once you've recorded the payment, it will reduce the liability showing due on your account.

Give this a try and if you have questions, I recommend contacting our support team using this link.
