How do I correct a transaction date that QuickBooks entered for tax payment?

Good day, dbarlowrmi.

If the tax payment is manually recorded (non-electronic payments), we can delete and recreate the transaction to correct the payment date.

Here's how to delete the tax payment:

1. Go to Taxes on the left side menu.
2. Select Payroll tax.
3. Tick the View tax payments you have made under Pay Taxes.
4. Choose the Date Range of the payment. 
5. Click the Tax Payment and tap the Delete button. 
6. Press Yes to confirm. 

Once done, enter the tax payment in QuickBooks with the correct transactions date. Just follow the steps and details in this article: Recording prior tax payments. However, if the payment is processed electronically, the option to delete it is unavailable. I'd suggest contacting our Payroll Support Team to get this corrected.

Please be reminded that our Support Team is available from 6:00 AM until 6:00 PM on weekdays, and 6:00 AM till 3:00 PM on Saturdays. Here's how to contact us:

1. Click the Help (?) icon.

3. Enter a  brief description of your situation in the What can we help you with? area, then click Let's talk.
