I received a refund from state of Illionois for overpayment of payroll taxes. How do I post it?

Hello there, @mjs1.

Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'm here to help record the payroll liability check in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

To record the refund, you can enter the information under the Refund Deposit for Taxes and Liabilities window.

1. Go to Employees at the top menu bar.
2. Select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities.
3. Click on Deposit Refund Liabilities.
4. Select the name of the vendor who submitted the refund check.
5. In the Refund Date field, enter the deposit date.
6. In the For Period Beginning field, enter the first day of the pay period that the refund affects.
7. Select how you want QuickBooks to handle the deposit.
8. In the Taxes and Liabilities section, select the payroll item/s affected by the refund.
9. In the corresponding Amount column, enter the positive amount.
10. (Optional) Enter a note in the memo field.
11. Select Ok.
