State payroll liabilities had the incorrect percentage so all of the liabilites were not what the reports showed them to be. how can I adjust the liabilities

Our Payroll Support Team can help you correct your payroll liabilities, KimB58.

Making adjustments to the liabilities requires access to your payroll account. To do this, please give us a call so we can assist you.

Here's how to get our contact number:

1. Select QuickBooks Online.
2. Click the Running your business in QuickBooks topic.
3. Click the Employees sub-topic.
4. Scroll down and click the Get Phone Number button.

I'll be around if you need further assistance.

This is a non-answer.  The correct answer is that you cannot correct your payroll liability without help from QuickBooks Support.  What a waste of time waiting until Support is open, waiting in a phone queue for a simple adjustment.  QuickBooks needs to fix this.  Outsourcing payroll to an outside payroll provider or otherwise doing payroll outside of QuickBooks Online makes a lot of sense due to issues like this.
