Let's correct your payroll data before the end of the year,  Joy1317.

 

If the payroll liability was paid electronically within QuickBooks Desktop, we'd recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team to do some adjustments and correct the details. You can reach them through this link: Contact Payroll Support.

 

If the payroll liability was paid through check, can void or delete the payment. Then, create a new one for the correct payroll liability that you want to pay.

 

Also here are some payroll links that might be helpful when dealing with payroll liabilities:

Let us know how this goes so we can further assist you in correcting your payroll data.

Let me get things easier and I'm here to guide you on how you can do it, Joy1317.

 

QuickBooks uses payroll items to track individual amounts on a paycheck such as National Paid Leave. You can edit the payroll item so you can change it to credit instead of medicare. To do this, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Lists menu, then select Payroll Item List.

    What is the Payroll Item List?

  2. Right-click on the appropriate item, then choose Edit Payroll Item.
  3. Make any necessary changes to the Payroll Item Name, the Liability/Expense Account Associated with the item, How to Calculate the item, and/or Default Rates and Limits (Rates and Limits entered here will affect all employees).
    Note: You can't edit the payroll item type. If you want to change it, create a new payroll item.
  4. Select Next until you can click Finish.

For your reference, you can review your transactions so you can add and match them in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Fill me in if you have questions about editing the payroll item. I'm always right here to help you if you have any concerns.
