Hi there, @hughesmedialaw.
Thanks for checking in with us here in the Community. I can assist you in correcting the additional taxes that were withheld to your employees.
If the taxes that were withheld are unnecessary, then you can go ahead and create a payroll liability adjustment. This enables you to correct an employee's year to date (YTD) information contained in payroll items such as company contributions, employee addition, and deduction payroll items.
To do that:
- Click on Employees at the top.
- Select on Payroll Taxes and Liabilities.
- Click on Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
- Select the correct Effective Date.
- Choose Employee Adjustment (If this adjustment will affect an employee's year-to-date (YTD) information). Choose Company Adjustment (If the balance simply needs to be removed from the Payroll Liability Balances Report or removed because it causes a balance to appear in the Chart of Accounts).
- In the Taxes and Liabilities section, click the Payroll Item column and select the correct payroll item.
- Insert the amount of the adjustment in the corresponding field (negative to decrease the amount of the liability and positive to increase the amount of the liability).
- Click Accounts Affected.
- If you have additional employees, click Next Adjustment and repeat the steps for each affected employee.
For detailed information about this process, please refer to this article: Adjust payroll liabilities.
