Void Payroll Liability Adjustments

I got your back, @ajm01998.

Let’s delete your liability adjustment in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

1. Go to the Employees menu.
2. Select Payroll Center.
3. In the Transactions tab, select Liability Adjustments.
4. Click to open the adjustment. Then, Delete.

After finishing, confirm that the SUI is not selected in the Payroll Info. To finish the work, just adhere to the procedures listed below:

1. Follow the first and second steps above.
2. In the Employees tab, find the name of the employee.
3. Click Payroll Info. Then, Taxes.
4. Under the State section, uncheck the SUI.
5. Once done, click OK to reflect the changes

Afterward, run a payroll checkup to verify and review your employee's records.

Thanks.  I don't see anywhere that I can delete the adjustment.  Could it be an issue with my permissions?

Thank you - CTRL + D worked!

That sounds great, @ajm01998!

I appreciate that my colleague @DebSheenD was able to give you the steps to delete the tax adjustment.

Excuse me but from what screen are you deleting this line? On Liability Adjustment screen, deleting the line gives error that QB cannot record a blank transaction.

The transaction cannot be deleted from other screens that I can see, such as in the Employee record of transactions.

Thank you.

Good day to you, @JeanieK. I'm here to help you delete a payroll liability adjustment in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

You're correct that you cannot delete a line item of the payroll liability adjustment and leave the entry blank. However, if you need to delete an entire record of your incorrect liability adjustment, you can press the CTRL + D from the Liability Adjustment window to delete the transaction.

 Alternatively, you can follow the following steps to delete it:

1. Go to Employees, then Payroll Taxes and Liabilities. 
2. Choose Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
   
3. Click the Previous button until you find the liability adjustment you want to delete.
4. Once you find the transaction you want to delete, click the Edit button in the menu bar.
5. Select the Delete Liability Adjust (Ctrl+D) option.

There is no delete button and CTRL+D does not do anything. Why????

Thanks for joining in this thread, @Sycacorp. It's my goal to ensure you'll be able to delete your payroll liability adjustments in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

On the Liability Adjustment page, you can find the delete button in the Edit menu, then Delete Liability Adjust. Alternatively, you can press the Ctrl + D buttons on your keyboard. You may refer to the steps shared by my colleague, Kevin_C, for the complete details.

If you're unable to access both, it's most likely a temporary program issue. To resolve this, I recommend updating your QBDT to the latest release. Then, utilize the Verify and Rebuild tool to scan and repair the program for potential damages. Here's how: 

To verify your company data:

1. Go to Window and select Close All.
2. Select File, then Utilities.
3. Click Verify Data.

Here's how to rebuild:

1. Go to File, select Utilities, and then select Rebuild Data.
2. Press OK when QBDT asks to make a backup. Choose where to save it and click OK.
3. Select OK once you get the message Rebuild has completed.

You may also use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to help resolve common company file issues. Refer to this article for more information: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

Additionally, viewing your payroll totals in QBDT is a breeze when you generate reports. They contain the necessary information for filing payroll taxes with the government, such as employee wages and contributions.
