Yes, Contact198, you can delete a payroll tax payment in QuickBooks Online (QBO). However, deleting them depends on whether it was recorded manually or processed electronically.
To help you better understand the requirements needed to determine when you can or cannot delete a tax payment, refer to the following guidelines:
You can delete a payment if:
- It was manually recorded and not processed by an electronic payment system.
- The federal payment date must be at least five banking days before the due date, and changes are made before 5 PM PST.
- The state payment date falls before the lead time for your province (note: lead times vary).
You cannot delete a payment if:
- It is either in process or has already been processed electronically.
- The payment, along with the accompanying form, was sent to or accepted by the relevant agency.
- The payment was rejected due to insufficient funds (NSF).
With those considerations in mind, if you meet the requirements for deleting payroll tax payments, you can refer to this article for step-by-step guidelines: Delete a payroll tax payment.
