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:

  1. Go to the Account and Settings menu.
  2. Select the Payroll tab.
  3. Click anywhere in the Employer NI relief section.
  4. Select the No, I don't qualify button in the Employment Allowance section.
  5. Click Save, then Done.

 

After that, you'll have to resubmit your EPS filing to the HMRC. Let me guide you how.

  1. Go to the Taxes menu.
  2. Select Payroll Tax.
  3. Choose the EPS and view the details.
  4. Click Submit.

 

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.
