Payroll Liabilities Double Payment

Hey there, CCNCem. 

Thanks for dropping by this afternoon. What you're going to want to do is delete the tax overpayment. Doing this will allow you to enter the correct payment. To do so, follow along below:

1. Click Taxes in the left panel.
2. Go to Payroll Tax.
3. Click View Tax Payments you have made and delete it. 

I would also recommend reaching out to an accountant, just to be sure your books are in order and, as always, you can contact our customer care agents if you'd like someone to be with you as you go through these steps. They can pull up your account in a secure environment and assist you further.

2. Click (?) Help at the upper right corner.
3. At the bottom, click on Contact us.
4. Type in your concern then hit Continue.

I don't have an overpayment in Quickbooks.  I have a payment withdrawn from my bank account twice.  It was not entered in Quickbooks twice.  I'm trying to find out how to enter the overpayment in QB so that it shows on my tax return as overpaid and I can get a refund from the tax agency.

Hello there, @CCNCem.

Since you've made mention that it's not an overpayment and it just needs to be recorded to show tax return as over paid and get refunded from the tax agency, therefore, applying it as payroll liability overpayment as a credit is not the best option.

With that being said, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Payroll support team to have a check on your account and guide you through the process on how to record your tax overpayment.

It's my pleasure to assist you further if you have an additional concerns. Have a good day

I know this question was over a year ago, but I just had the same problem and figured out how to manually enter the extra payment in Quickbooks. Under the "Employees" tab, scroll down to "Payroll Taxes and Liabilities" and then "Create Custom Liability Payments". Once there you will set the dates for the payroll, the date of the payment, and then click on the various liabilities you want to pay. Enter the amount for each and then hit "Create". (separate ones for EDD and US Treasury payments)

I'm about to prepare the Quarterly return that includes the overpayment so hopefully it shows up and the refund process is straightforward. Hope this response helps anyone else who has accidentally double paid!

Thank you searnest this was very helpful!

Thank you searnest! Appreciate you took the time to respond because it definitely saved me a lot of time and helped me record this type of transaction.
