Let me show you how to view the payments made:

Thank you. I want to leave the original payment that was made (and cleared by the bank). However, I am making an additional payment for the period since more money was due to the State Dept of Unemployment Security. I have already made the payment directly to the taxing authority and it has cleared the bank. However, the issue is how do I "match" it so it is entered correctly in QB?
Thank you. The original payment was made and cleared by the bank for the period. However, I needed to make an additional payment that was due to the State Dept of Unemployment Security for the same period. I made the payment directly to the taxing authority and it has cleared the bank. Now how do I "match" the cleared payment in QB so it is applied to the right account and period?

Thanks for chiming in on this thread, @Denali Mike. I can share some information about the tax payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
You'll want to manually record your prior payroll history, as well as any tax payments you paid outside the payroll system.
When dealing with penalties and interest paid to the tax agencies, you should not record these together with the tax due. It will result in an overpayment. You should record these payments as an expense in your QuickBooks Online.
This will be a non-posting transaction. It will not affect the bank register, but it will clear the taxes due and record the deposits. Here's how to record your tax payment:

Thanks for the response Kevin C. I'm still not exactly clear on solution. As you mentioned look up past payments, which I did. And there are payments recorded for both instances. The thing, is the amount I paid each time was around $41 give or take for each which matches the UI 3/40 Wage Report filed at the time. The amount that QB's is showing is due for each instance is $3.13. Therefore they don't match and I don't think either of the examples you gave me would work. Am I correct or am I not understanding your recommendation?
