Changing the Tax Type of a QB Desktop payroll item deduction

Hi there, leeseinmt.

Let me share additional information about how payroll deduction items work.

The changes that you've made will only apply to the next paycheck within the same year. You'll still have to correct the YTD deductions on the paycheck to ensure that your tax forms and payroll reports are accurate. Here's how:

1. Go to the Employees menu.
2. Choose Payroll Taxes and Liabilities, then select Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
3. Enter the adjustment and effective date.
4. Select Employee Adjustment if the item you're adjusting is a company-paid item or choose Company Adjustment if you want the balance to be removed from the Payroll Liability Balances Report.
5. Choose the appropriate employee.
6. Select the item name you want to adjust, then enter the amount of the adjustment. Use a positive number to increase or a negative to decrease the amount.
7. Enter a memo as needed.
8. Select Accounts Affected and then OK.
9. Repeat for other employees if you need to, and then click OK.

I'm also adding these articles to learn how to fix common payroll/tax item issues in QuickBooks Desktop:

• Resolve year-to-date (YTD) additions or deductions on a paycheck when the wrong tracking type was used
