Employment Tax Modifications

Sum3 · ‎April 23, 2025

Hi,

I am located in NY and I need to file my quartely returns. I have automatic payments and filings turned off. I have already filed with the state but now I need to enter the payment in QBO.

My unemployment rate is incorrect in QBO, therefore, QBO has calculated that I owe more in unemployment insurance then is accurate. I updated the rate moving forward, but I cannot update it in the past (so it will not create a new calculation)

How do I modify the payment amount that QBO is showing so I can 'file' in QBO and have my QBO accurate?

When I am on my payments / filing tab, I see that my NYS Employment Taxes are due and the only options I have are 'Pay & File' or 'Mark as paid' - neither one of these give me the option to edit the amount that was paid.

I went ahead and added my payments to QBO via the 'record tax payment' selection at the bottom of the page, which deducted that amount that I entered as a payment from the amount QBO is showing as due. But now I need to show that my NYS quartley return was actually filed and remove this balance QBO is showing.

Please help?

Thanks!

Hi there, Sum3. Thank you for reaching out regarding your quarterly forms in the Payroll Tax Center. Your forms' calculations are based on your paychecks. Let me help you review your paychecks.

Since the paychecks for the quarter at issue are dated in the past, I'd encourage reaching out to our Live Payroll Support team to rollback the paychecks so the quarterly return with the correct calculation would show up on the Payroll Tax page.

Here's how:

Log in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
On the upper right corner, click the Help button.
Go to the Search tab, then enter Contact Us in the search field.
Click the Contact Us button below the page.

Once this is fixed, refer to this article to learn how to handle an employee-paid taxes are over or under-collected in QBO.

If you have more concerns or question, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to assist you and ensure that you have all the resources you need for your QuickBooks experience.
