payroll libilities payment paid twice, register only has 1 time transaction

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, and thank you for sharing the details, riveroaks. Since your bank statement shows two payroll liability payments but only one transaction is recorded in your QuickBooks register, you'll need to manually record the missing payment in QuickBooks Desktop.

Here’s how you can record the missing payroll liability payment:

1. Navigate to Employees, then Payroll Center.
2. Open the Pay Liabilities tab.
3. Under Other Activities, choose Create Custom Payments.
4. A pop-up window will open. Set the date range for the payroll liabilities you want to pay and click OK when finished.
5. In the Pay Liabilities window, check the box for each liability you wish to pay.
6. Select the bank account, choose whether to print a check, and click Create or Create & Pay to complete the payment.

If you’ve paid the same payroll liabilities twice, your tax agency may either apply the overpayment to future liabilities or issue a refund. For more information on how to handle a payroll tax overpayment in QuickBooks Desktop, refer to this:
