How do I delete payroll tax payments made in error?

You can delete a payroll tax payment through the Payment History, Jaclyn. We'll provide more details and a visual reference to ensure your inquiry is resolved promptly.

A payroll tax payment can be deleted if it was recorded manually, not processed electronically, and the payment date is at least two banking days away (before 5 PM PST for federal taxes or before the state-required lead time). Otherwise, deletion is not available in the program.

To start, here's how:

1. On the left navigational bar, go to the My apps tab and select Payroll.
2. Click Payroll Taxes.
3. In the Payroll Tax Center page, go to the Payment history beside the Tax transactions.
4. Select the tax payment you want to cancel or delete. Change the date range if necessary.
5. From the Edit dropdown ▼, select Delete. If you don't see delete, you can’t delete the payment.
6. Select Yes to confirm.

For visual reference see the screenshot below.
