payroll liabilities

Good day, Eve2019. I'm here to assist you with entering the payroll liabilities into QuickBooks for accurate account reconciliation.

You can enter historical tax payments if you activated manual payroll for the payments that you run outside QuickBooks. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Help menu, and then choose About QuickBooks. 
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Y on your keyboard, and then click Next on the Set Up YTD Amounts window.
3. Choose the correct date range, and then select Next until you see the Create Payment button under the Enter Prior Payments page.
4. Select the item you need to create a prior payment for under the Item Name drop-down.
5. Verify the dates and update as necessary, and then choose Next Payment to enter another prior payment.
6. Click Done, and then Finish to exit the page.

If you haven't activated manual payroll, you can create a journal entry or write a check to record the tax payments. Then, ensure that you choose the correct bank and categories so they will be posted correctly and appear in the reconciliation window. However, I'd I'd suggest consulting your accountant for further assistance with the process to ensure your books are accurate.
