Payroll liability amounts do not match the PD7A report

Here's what to do if the payroll liability amounts that appear in the Pay Liabilities/Taxes screen don't agree with what is shown on the PD7A report.

Correct the discrepancies between the payroll liability amounts in the Pay Liabilities/Taxes screen and the PD7A report

If you have put year-to-date adjustments in for your employees, you must also enter prior payments (to the Receiver General) to clear the liabilities created when entering the adjustments for individual employees.

1. In the menu bar, select Employees.
2. Select Payroll Setup.
3. Select Set Up YTD Amounts.
4. Select Next four times until you get to the Enter Prior Payments screen.
5. Select Create Payment.
6. Enter the payment date and pay period ending date for the first payment applicable to the year-to-date adjustments entered (e.g. February 15 would be the first payment date for period ending January 31).
7. Enter the amounts remitted for each payroll item for that particular payment.
8. Select Next and continue to enter each of the payments that were made up until your QuickBooks Desktop start date (e.g. if your QuickBooks Desktop start date is September 1, then the last payment entered would be August 15 for the pay period ending July 31).
