Payroll Liability Balances

Thanks for reaching out to the Community about your concern, Dukeemma.

I’m here to help clarify why the amount on the Pay Taxes & Other Liabilities window is not similar to the Payroll Liability Balances Report.

This happens when Paid Through date of the liability payments is in a different month than the liabilities accrued. For example, transactions accrued in October, but paid through November, can show as due.

Since the report is created from the Report Center, it may contain an incorrect date filter. Make sure the To date in the report is the same as the Through date in the Pay Liabilities window for the amounts to match. Check out the Run payroll liability balances report article for more details.

Also, the following link provides detailed information where the data from the Payroll Liability Balances Report comes from. It outlines the steps in determining how the liabilities were paid: Determining the source of payroll liability report balances. 

This information will straighten out the information on the Payroll Liabilities Report and Pay Taxes & Other Liabilities window.

Reach out to me if you need further assistance in running payroll reports. I’ll be glad to lend a helping hand. Have a good one.
