Duplicate payroll Tax paid to Maryland

Thank you for providing detailed information about the duplicate state payroll tax payment. We appreciate your diligence in reaching out. We haven’t received any reports of others experiencing the same issue, and contacting our Live Support Team was a great decision to help identify the root cause.

When it comes to handling payroll tax overpayments, the appropriate steps will depend on the situation:

• If Maryland’s agency has not issued a refund, you can create a liability check and apply the overpayment as a credit toward a future tax payment. Before proceeding, we recommend consulting your accountant to ensure accuracy. You can refer to this article for the detailed steps: Resolve a payroll tax overpayment.
• If you’ve already received a refund, review the refund amount and follow Step 2 in this article, which outlines actions based on your scenario: Handle a payroll tax refund from an agency in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
