Idaho wage rate change

So Idaho adjusted my taxable wage rate 3/26/24 retroactively effective back to quarter 1 of 2024. I just made my UI payment though Idaho department of labor and it is about $16 less than what QB desktop is showing I owe because the previous taxable wage rate was higher before I entered the new adjusted rate. Is there anyway to remove the now overdue liability (saying I still owe $16) so that it is not there permanently?

Idaho wage rate change

It's good to see you here in the Community space, Stephanie251. 

 

We can adjust your payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to remove the overdue liability.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Employee, then Payroll Taxes and Liabilities to Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
  2. Select the last paycheck date of the affected month or quarter in the Date and Effective Date fields.
  3. Pick Employee to correct YTD info in the Adjustment is for section, and then choose a name. 
  4. Under the Item Name column, specify the two withheld taxes. Enter a positive amount for the Federal to increase and a negative one for the State to decrease.
  5. Make necessary changes to other columns and ensure to put an adjustment note under Memo.
  6. On the Accounts Affected, determine if you'd like to leave balances unchanged (Do not affect accounts) or reflect in the liability and expense accounts (Affect liability and expense accounts).
  7. Press OK to close the window and then OK to save the changes.

 

For the complete guide, please see this article: Adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

Additionally, you may want to create a payroll summary report to have a quick view of your total payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions. For the step-by-step guide on how to do this, you can check out this article: Payroll Summary Report in QuickBooks.
