Changing Payroll Tax Payment in QuickBooks Online When Liability is Incorrect

Let's get your payroll records accurate, Shannon36.

Unlike the Desktop version, adjusting payroll liabilities is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. I would recommend contacting our Payroll Team. They'll need to access your account so they can create the adjustment for you. 

Here's how to reach out to them:

1. Go to the Help menu and click Contact Us.
2. Let the know that you need to make payroll adjustments, then click Let's talk.
3. Select the Chat or Get a callback option. 

After the adjustments are entered, you'll want to run a payroll report to verify if the amounts are already correct. Just go to the Reports menu and look for Payroll Tax Liability or Payroll Tax Payments. 

We're always here if you need anything else. Just add a reply below and we'll be happy to jump right back and help you again. 

Is this still true?  I'm getting tired of always having to contact Intuit for payroll corrections.  Please tell me that this problem has been fixed.

Thank you,

Diana

4. Choose I still need a human.
5. Select Get help from a human.

This is so ridiculous.  I can almost see that there should be an extra layer of protection from making mistakes with amounts withheld from employees and payable to the taxing authority.  However, for employer contribution amounts, we should be able to adjust them as needed without the hassle of contacting someone else to do it for us.

I am so disappointed in QBOA.  I should have stayed with Desktop.

I despise QB online for this reason. There are so many things that it doesn't allow and it is almost never accurate with our state taxes. It makes my job as the bookkeeper even harder. Please add the function! Also, QB Online really needs to allow multiple Labor and Industry/workers comp rates. Some companies have several, resulting in the liability adjustments needed. It also costs the company in under collected contributions. 

Hi, jennymae1.

I know how important it is to have this function, however, the option to do so is unavailable in QuickBooks Online.

While this isn't an option, I'd suggest submitting feedback within your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. This way, it goes to our product developers to help improve your experience while using the program. Here's how. 

1. Go to the Gear icon at the upper right and select Feedback under Profile.
2. Enter your comments or product suggestions. You can also attach a screenshot or file to combine them all. 
3. Click Next.
   
4. You'll be provided a list of suggested help articles related to your comments. You can read through them or choose Skip and send message.
5. Select the appropriate category from the drop-down menu.
6. Tap Send message.

As always, feel free to visit our Help articles for QuickBooks Online in case you need tips and payroll-related articles in the future.

I want to be your main point of contact, so please let me know if you have any other concerns or questions. I'm always ready to assist further. Have a good one.

Your "Specialists" are a joke.  I've made the journal entry to correct the SUTA liability and have requested the "specialist" correct QBO so the payment due aligns with the actual liability.  She has been "researching" how to fix this problem for 35 minutes now.  Will be recommending all clients do NOT use QBO.
