How do I remove a scheduled "Pay Liability" off of the list in QuickBooks Desktop?

Let me share some information about the tax liability schedule in QuickBooks Desktop, SVOhio. 

 

The tax liability will show in the Payroll Center section once it is unpaid. We can run a Payroll Liability Balance Report to view any unpaid liabilities for 940 taxes. If it is not yet paid, create a liability payment in QuickBooks Desktop. We can also enter the payment using the Enter Prior Payments option in the YTD Adjustment window. Here's how: 

  1. Go to Help on the top menu.
  2. Choose About QuickBooks. Then, press Ctrl+Alt+Y.
  3. Select the date range. Then tap Next until you see the Create Payments button.
  4. Under Item Name, click the drop-down arrow. And choose the item you need to create a prior payment for.
  5. Verify the dates and update as necessary. Then, select Next Payment to enter another prior payment.
  6. Press Done.

 

Here's an article you can refer to for more details about scheduled liabilities shown as overdue or appear in red in QuickBooks Desktop. If your payroll liabilities are incorrect, we can use a liability adjustment to fix them. For the 940 taxes, just select the Company Adjustment option if you want the balance to be removed from the Payroll Liability Balances Report. Then, run the Payroll Summary report again to make sure everything looks right.

RCV,

I appreciate your timely response and help. Thanks for taking the time to make this effort and explain. I want to say, I'm not sure how this addresses how to remove something that shouldn't be there to be begin with? Our organization is not required to pay the Federal 940 and hasn't for the past 25 years. It was mistakenly added after a computer crash and having to reenter forms. I don't need to adjust the amount, I don't need to create or modify anything. I just need to know how to remove it, and if necessary, without any loose ends as in amounts due, which should not be the case.
