Payroll Taxes and liabilities

We paid our tax and liabilities (for termed employee) through QB e-pay but the taxes are still there and then when I went to pay the regular taxes for every one else the taxes for the termed employee are still there and I almost paid it again. How do we clear it out?

Payroll Taxes and liabilities

Hi there, @bettyj03c15. I'll provide some insights to help you fix this issue with your payroll liabilities.

 

Since you've recorded the liabilities to your termed employee through QB e-pay, you can use the backdoor process to remove those overdue taxes from your payroll liability screen. To enter historical payments outside the payroll setup window, you can follow the steps below: 

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and click About QuickBooks.
  2. Press Ctrl + Alt + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Y to open the Setup YTD Amounts window.
  3. Click Next until you reach the Enter prior payments section.
  4. From the Enter Prior Payments window, select Create Payment to enter all prior payroll tax and non-tax payroll liability payments you have made during the current or previous years.
  5. Enter the Payment Date and For Period Ending date accordingly.
  6. In the Taxes and Liabilities field, select the payroll tax item you've already paid and want to record in QuickBooks Desktop. And enter the amount. You can add a memo to remind you what the payment is for.
  7. Select the Accounts Affected... button. You can choose the Affect liability accounts but not the bank account so that prior payments won't appear in the bank register.
  8. Tick Next Payment. Select Done to save and Finish to close the window.

 

You can check this article to learn more about this process: Enter historical payments in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

Additionally, I've added this article guide that can give you more tips on resolving overdue or red scheduled liabilities: Fix overdue or red scheduled liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
