Let me help with your question about removing the payroll liabilities so you can file the tax forms, pmariew1.

 

You can create a prior payment history to zero out the liabilities. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select 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. Select Create Payment.
  5. Enter the Payment Date and For Period Ending date accordingly (in many cases these dates will be the same).
  6. Enter all the details and amounts of the liabilities.
  7. Click the Accounts Affected button. Then, select Affect liability accounts but not the bank account. Selecting this option will cause the prior payment to not show up in the bank register.
  8. Select Done
