Join nowHi,
We only have one employee and do the payroll manually. I use Quickbooks Desktop.
I paid the payroll taxes late and I received a " Failure to make a proper federal tax deposit on time penalty ". I paid the penalty. How do I enter this payment in QB Desktop. I know that Penalties paid to the IRS are not tax-deductible and want to make sure I enter this transaction correctly.
Thank you for your help.

However, I cannot follow the directions given . When I click on Employee in the top menu bar, I do not have the same lay out. I have no Payroll center, I have of course a Pay Taxes and Liabilities line (not a column) but when I click on Pay liabilities, there is no box beside it , no view/pay and no expenses column. Apparently in my version, I would need to create a payroll item called "penalties" before I can pay .
I am Using Quickbooks Desktop Premier Professional Services Edition 2021. It may explain why the display is so different.
