I'm here to ensure you can make the necessary adjustment for Employment Allowance in QuickBooks, sld2012. This way, you'll be able to update the balance you owe to HMRC to £0.00.
I'd suggest turning off the Employment Allowance feature in the Payroll tab from Account and Settings. This way, it'll remove the allowance and zero out your balance. Here's how:
After that, you'll have to resubmit your EPS filing to the HMRC. Let me guide you how.
Furthermore, you're unable to enter your payments you make to the HMRC with Standard Payroll. The P32 report just shows the liability/amount you need to pay. Just write a check for record-keeping and pay directly to the agency.
Moreover, you can effectively manage your payroll account and employees by referring to this article: QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll Hub. It contains topics about setting up and run payroll, manage employees, Real Time Information (RTI), Workplace Pensions, and reports.
Please let me know if you have other concerns. I'm just around to help.

@MirriamMAs my Initial post stated 'Adjust Payroll Liabilities' It is not a deposit that has been received from HMRC but an adjustment that is required.
E.g.
My payroll liabilities for a month is £1800 of which £600 relates to Employer's National Insurance Contribution. The Employment Allowance can be used to offset the £600, so basically we pay HMRC just £1200. There is no actual refund or deposit just an adjustment to the liabilities is required.
As my Payroll Liabilities account shows an outstanding of £1800, i need to make an adjustment so that the account shows £1200 instead.
When i used QBDT, this is how payroll liabilities adjustments were made:
Employees > Payroll Centre > Adjust Liabilities:
Category: Amount
NIC Employer -£600 (negative)
This would then reduce the total outstanding to HMRC from £1800 to £1200.
But as the PAYE in QBO has no sub accounts and taxes and NI are all added into one account, how do i make this adjustment.
Hope this simplifies my query.
I appreciate you coming back with those details, sld2012.
