You can't remove tax liabilities from the payroll schedule once they are set up in QuickBooks Desktop. However, you can remove other types of liabilities, such 401(k) contributions, health insurance, and dental insurance.
So now we have a liability payment to remove from "Liability" to "Paid". In my case as well as others we have already paid the liability directly to the State and again just need to process from liability to check register. Unfortunately they system will only allow you to do that by creating an E-Pay account and processing payment one more time. AGAIN, we have already paid the State through their portal as I assume everyone else with this problem has done. We need a "check" option for the payment of this liability so we can clear it out only!
SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR QB, ADD "CHECK" OPTION FOR THE PAYMENT OF THIS TAX AS YOU DO FOR ALL OTHERS AND WE CAN ALL DO IT THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT AND MOVE ON!
The excuse that QB is doing this to comply with the state mandates is not true, as filers that is our responsibility and we have other options to comply as we have been doing for over a year.
Again, just give us the "check" option for the payment of VEC taxes like you do for all other taxes that require electronic payment.
That is the only simple solution to the problem.
By the way, I have spoken with technical support and they just keep telling me to change the payment method, which I can't because the option is not there. Alternatively was told to reach out and provide data so a workaround can be done. As I said before we are all paying QB way too much for yearly advanced payroll to be doing "workarounds" FIX IT! It can't be that complicated!!
