I have an Oregon state transit tax calculating on my payroll but it doesn't apply to the county we are located in. I made it invalid but it still calculated... is there any way to remove that transit tax line item? This is the first time I have run payroll through QB and it's got me stumped! Our business is in Multnomah County, so we have to pay the Tri-Met Transit Tax, which it correctly calculates. Unfortunately it is also calculating the Lane Transit District Transit Tax, which only applies if you live/work in Lane County. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers,
Todd

Hi tschur,
Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about removing that transit tax line item you had yesterday. Was it successful? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at anytime.
Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!
Hi there, I followed the steps listed as I have a similar situation, but the employee's wages that mistakenly had the Lane County Transit tax are in the Oregon OQ form. Several paystubs had this accrued (it is paid by the employer and not the employee). I can't find a way to remove it from the OQ.
Hey there, ehutchison.
To get this sorted out, you'll need to do an adjustment to remove the wages from the OQ. Here's how:
Once done, go back and check the OQ. For more details about this process, check out this article: Adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop. On the same link, you'll find a write-up about how to correct your year-to-date additions and deductions in QuickBooks.
Let me know how the result of this troubleshooting in the comment below. I want to make sure you're all set. Have a good one.
