We ran payroll and no taxes were deducted so we ran it again and the SS/Med deducted twice on all checks and we paid the calculated liability - How do we reimburse the employee the over deducted SS/Med and get refunded back our overpayment?

Hello, Saveme2. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. To enter the reimbursement of the employee, you can record a refund check from an overpayment of your payroll liabilities. I'll show you how to do it: 

 

  1. From the Employees menu, select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities. Then select Deposit Refund Liabilities.
  2. Select the name of the vendor who submitted the refund check.
  3. In the Refund Date field, enter the deposit date.
  4. In the For Period Beginning field, enter the first day of the pay period that the refund affects.
  5. Select how you want QuickBooks to handle the deposit:
    • Group with other Undeposited funds: Adds the amount in a holding account. And lets you enter a deposit with multiple items. This option requires you to use Make/Record Deposit to complete the process.
    • Deposit To: Records the amount to the account of your choice.
  6. In the Taxes and Liabilities section, select the payroll item/s affected by the refund.
  7. In the corresponding Amount column, enter the positive amount.
  8. Tap Ok

 

Please refer to this article: Record a payroll liability refund check. There are different sets of steps provided, which depend on the situation of the refund check.
