Does anyone know how to enter a credit amount for withholding tax to decrease the balance due in the Payroll Tax Center?

Hello there, @bkramer1.

I'll ensure you can enter a credit amount for withholding tax to decrease the balance due.

If you want to decrease the credit amount due, you may need to enter a positive amount instead of a negative one. 

You can refer to the following steps and the sample screenshots below for visual reference:

1. Go to the Taxes menu, then select Payroll Tax.
2. Locate the withholding tax you want to enter a credit amount and click Pay.
3. Fill out all the needed information in the Add Tax payment section.
   
4. In the Payment amount area, enter a positive amount.
   

     

5. Then, click Submit payment to save changes.

Now, the amount due is reduced by $10 after we apply the positive amount.
