Amounts left in Other current Liability for payroll

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:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Select Employees & Payroll.
3. Choose Payroll Detail Review.
4. Click Customize Report tab (if you want to run a specific report).
5. Choose the Display tab and select the date range from drop down list or fill in the From and To dates.
6. In the Filters tab, choose Payroll Item from the Filter section. Select Multiple payroll items in the Payroll Item drop-down.(See screenshot.)
   
7. Select the state tax items from the list that is in discrepancy.
8. Once done, click OK twice.

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:

1. From the Employees menu, choose Payroll Taxes and Liabilities. 
2. Select Adjust Payroll Liabilities, then choose the correct Effective Date. 
3. Click Employee Adjustment. 
4. Use a positive number to increase or negative to decrease the liability amount.
5. In the Taxes and Liabilities page, hit the Item Name column and select payroll or tax item.
6. Tap Accounts Affected, then hit Do not affect accounts if you don't want to post it to any accounts in QuickBooks.
