I know the possible reason why the amounts have not been cleared out on your Pay Liabilities tab, Deadwood Al. Let me elaborate on it in detail.
When dealing with payroll liability adjustments, you need to enter the amount as a positive number if its value needs to increase, and as a negative number if it needs to decrease. Since you need to clear the amount, you should enter it as a negative number.
Here's how:
- Open your QuickBooks company file.
- Go to Employees, then Payroll Taxes and Liabilities.
- Select Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
- In the Date and Effective Date fields, select the last paycheck date of the affected month or quarter.
- Tick the radio button for the Company under the Adjustment is for.
- Under the Item Name column, select the payroll item you want to adjust.
- Enter the Amount of the adjustment as a negative to clear out the liability amount in the Pay Liabilities tab.
- Once done click OK and select Accounts Affected, then OK.
