I'll share some information about Workers Comp so you'll be guided on what to do, ellis4.
When Worker's Comp show's up under the Pay Liabilities tab, this only means that the payroll item is taxable. You can double check the item if it is really taxable. If it is and you're trying to change the rate, you can edit the item setup instead. Then you can make adjustments to correct your paychecks and liability. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Go to the Employees menu, then select Workers Compensation.
- Select Workers Comp List, then the code you want to update.
- Select Workers Comp Code ▼ dropdown menu, then Edit Workers Comp Code.
- In the New rate for this code field, enter the new rate.
- In the Start using rate on field, enter the date you want QuickBooks to start using the new rate. Note: If the date is after the payroll, QuickBooks Workers Comp reports automatically updates the numbers. However, it won't update individual paycheck info and you may need to make manual payroll liability adjustments.
- Select OK.
On the other hand, if you really wanted to delete Worker's Comp, you can go to the Employee's profile and remove it from there. I've outlined the steps below:
- Go to the Employees menu at the top.
- Select Employee Center.
- Choose and double-click the name of the employees.
- Click the Payroll info menu.
- Under the additions, deductions, company contributions section select the item to remove.
- Click OK.
Additionally, you can prepare and print your payroll tax payments and forms in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. Once done you can file them with IRS and state agencies.
