Join nowHi, We were using QB payroll. We have since hire a outside payroll company. The person who was to clear up everything a few years back, did not. I am wondering if I need to clear out the Payroll categories list under other current liability. We stopped in 2019. There are still balance due on the List - Charts of accounts. Should I just leave this alone?
Also with the out source payroll company - I notice that I place an entry into "Payroll Taxes Liability", (type of account) Other current Liability. Here is where I enter what the employer is paying, which the payroll company takes care of. I have a negative balance in there- is this correct? I am trying to straighten out a lot of accounts on this company. I just started in April and am trying to clean everything up. I even thought of adding a "clean up" account but was not sure what type I should use!
Thank you for all and any help
It's nice to see you here, @HOw to clear a depost from serva,
I would like to share some insights on how to resolve the discrepancy with your Payroll Liabilities.
The amount showing as liability comes from the data on the employees paycheck recorded in QuickBooks. If you have payroll and there are any discrepancies or amounts needed to be cleared out, we will need to run through the reports to identify any adjustments to be made.
Fort that, pull up a Payroll Detailed (Detail) Review report to spot the discrepancy. Here's how:

To get the right amount per employee, multiply the tax rate to the wage base. Once you determine the amounts to adjust, follow the steps below:
