Thank you for contacting the Community regarding the duplicate payroll tax journals, May-planet-water. I understand the importance of having accurate records. Let me help you resolve this issue.

 

In QuickBooks Online, payroll transactions are journaled to their relevant accounts. For instance, when a paycheck is processed, entries are made for expenses, taxes, liabilities, and the bank account. This ensures that all aspects of the payroll are accurately recorded. Let me provide a visual reference:

Please see the screenshot below. I cannot delete or edit either of these journals as QuickBooks automatically posted them.

Hello there, may-planet. Thanks for coming back here in the thread.


Deleting duplicate tax payment transactions in your payroll journals seems crucial for you and your business. I have some insights on this topic and can share them with you.


When you manually enter the tax payment, you can remove it from the Payment history. However, if you've filed the tax payment electronically, you are unable to edit or delete it. In such cases, it's advisable to contact the payroll support team for assistance, as they can guide you through the process step by step. Here's how:
 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Hover to the Help. It will open a QuickBooks Assistant window.
  3. Put your queries in the Type or ask something field.
  4. To send, hit Enter on your keyboard.
