PAYROLL LIAB ADJUSTMENTS QB DESKTOP PAYROLL

I have an Employee on disability where the 3rd party is paying Employee's Payroll taxes.  I have followed the instructions 3rd party withholds, Employer submits W2 and created the zero$ paycheck and made the payroll liability adjustment.  For some reason when I click on "Pay Liabilities" - the Liability Adjustment is applying a "partial payment" not the full payment - which is making me, the employer, paying more liability than I'm supposed to!  Any suggestions or help would be appreciated - tried calling help desk and of course they hang up on me -

Hi there, @pb33.

 

Help has arrived! We're here with you throughout to ensure you'll be paying the correct liability amount that you need to.

 

I recommend running the Payroll Liability Balances report to view the outstanding balances for each item. Then, drill down on each one to see the accumulation recorded by payroll items on various transactions.

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu and select Employees & Payroll.
  2. Choose Payroll Liability Balances.
  3. Set the date filter to All.
  4. Double-click on the amount to view more details on where the balance came from.
  5. For Social Security Employee and Medicare Employee, verify the amounts for liability adjustment entry you created by double-clicking it.

 

For more info about determining the reason for balances on your report, check out this article: Source of Payroll Liability Report.

 

Please keep us updated on how it goes and if you need further assistance with tracking taxable third-party sick pay. We're here to ensure your success!
