Welcome back to QuickBooks Community, FMWjen. I'll share steps to ensure you're able to zero the liabilities so that they do not appear on the balance sheet.
Since the payroll taxes are paid, but the liabilities appeared in the company balance sheet, I suggest creating a journal entry. This way, you're able to transfer the amount paid for the payroll liabilities from one account to another. While doing this, I'd recommend consulting an accountant for guidance so your account stays accurate.
Here's how:
- Go to the Company menu and select Make General Journal Entries.
- Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. Make sure your debits equal your credits when you’re done.
- Hit Save or Save & Close.
