It's great to see you here, kar71. Let us assist you in inputting the missing federal/state liability payments into the accountant's Portable Company File (PCF) and merging your changes into the file.
Before we proceed, I suggest creating a backup of your QuickBooks file, ensuring your data is safe throughout the process.
To enter the missing liability payments into the PCF using QuickBooks Desktop, you can follow these steps:
- Open your QuickBooks Desktop software and open your Company File.
- From the main menu, click on Employees, select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities, and then click on Enter Prior Payroll.
- In the Enter Prior Payroll window, fill in details such as the payment date, the tax type, a brief description, and the payment amount.
- Click on OK to save and close the Enter Prior Payroll window.
After entering the missing liability payments, it's time to create an Accountant's Copy. Here's how:
- Go to the File menu and choose Create Copy.
- Select Accountant's Copy, followed by Client Activities.
- Choose a divided date after the accountant's latest copy, then save the Accountant's Copy and send it to your accountant along with information on the missing liability payments.
Your accountant can now open your Accountant's Copy and merge the missing liability payments with the PCF using the Import Accountant's Changes option under the File menu.
Once the merging process is complete, review your work and have your accountant review and reconcile the data to ensure it's up-to-date and accurate.
We understand the importance of accurate record-keeping and staying on top of your financial obligations. We are here to help ensure the QuickBooks Desktop experience is as smooth and seamless as possible. We look forward to supporting your success in the future.
