Let me share information on how to correct the HSA Employer Contribution in QuickBooks, @sdelong.
You can use liability adjustment to fix the employees’ year-to-date (YTD) payroll info.
First, run a Payroll Checkup to look for errors like missing information and discrepancy. Also, to review employee records, and identify tax amount discrepancies.
You can now adjust your payroll liability from the Payroll Taxes and Liabilities tab. Here's how:
- Select the Employees menu at the top, hover to Payroll Taxes and Liabilities, and select Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
- You can use the same date as the last paycheck of the affected quarter or use today's date if you’re working on the current quarter.
- Set Employee Adjustment if the item you're adjusting is a company-paid item or Company Adjustment if you want the balance to be removed from the Payroll Liability Balances Report.
- Choose the affected employee and complete the Taxes and Liabilities fields.
- Click the Accounts Affected and then OK.
Try to check if your liabilities are updated by generating a Payroll Summary Report. In case you've paid the liability already. You'll need to correct the liability check in QuickBooks by editing the Liability Check from the Banking menu.
