Payroll Liabilities somehow returned even though these were paid

Welcome back to the QuickBooks Community, axwack1. I'll share details on how Payroll Liabilities work in QuickBooks Desktop. Then, ensure you'll be routed to the right person to assist you further on this matter. 

You can always set up and pay your liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll such as health insurance or payroll taxes in the Pay Liabilities window. Periodically, even you have paid them, the liabilities may appear overdue or red. There are various reasons this may occur, you can open this article to see further details: Fix overdue or red scheduled liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop.

Then, if you're planning to void or delete the payroll liability, this will still return  in the pay liabilities screen. This is because you're unable to totally remove tax liabilities from the payroll once they are set up in QuickBooks Desktop. Also, you can leave the returning liability as is after paying this since your account is in balance or otherwise you can process again in paying payroll liabilities once you delete this.

Additionally, I suggest consulting an accountant to help you properly organize your payroll liabilities and provide you with more options in achieving your goal to ensure your records are in shipshape.
