How do I update a payroll tax withdrawal date after it has already been created

Payroll transactions can no longer be edited once saved or sent, me_souza87.

You'll need to delete the tax payment and recreate it with the correct withdrawal date.

Just make sure that the electronic payment has not been processed yet. Otherwise, we can no longer stop the transaction. Please take note that you can delete Federal tax payment two business days prior to the payment date, before 5pm PST. You can also check out this article on how the status of the transaction: Check E-filing or E-payment Status.

Then, follow these steps on how to delete the transaction:

1. Go to the Taxes menu, then proceed to Payroll tax.
2. Click View tax payments you have made under the Taxes section.
3. Look for the tax payment. You can also change the date range if necessary.
4. Click the drop-down list for View and Print Form drop-down, then select Delete. If you don't see delete, it means you cannot delete the payment. Contact us for assistance.
5. Select Yes to confirm that you want to delete it.
