Hello CJTC,
It sounds like you're off to a good start and have managed to enter the year-to-date (YTD) amounts for your employees. Taking care of prior liability payments is also a part of this process and it seems like that's where you are now.
When you're setting up YTD amounts in payroll, there's an option to record payments, which can be done by month or in a lump sum, whichever your preference. There's a great in-product article that walks you through step-by-step that I encourage you to read over. Here's how to find the article.
- Select the Help menu in the top toolbar.
- Choose QuickBooks Desktop Help.
- On the Have a Queston? screen, click the Help tab.
- Choose Search.
- Enter keywords such as "prior payroll" into the search bar.
- Select article Enter prior liability payments during payroll setup.
- Follow the steps outlined in the article.
To get a hand with any of this, feel free to get in touch with our phone support team. The number to dial is 1-877-772-9158. Learn about support hours and policies in this article: Intuit QuickBooks Desktop software support policies
I hope that helps! Have a great rest of your day.
