Quickbooks deducted a different amount than the tax that was due for the state. How do I adjust it to the correct amount?

I appreciate you posting here in the Community, @wnichols.I can see that QuickBooks Online deducted a different amount than the tax due for the state. 

Before providing assistance, could you please clarify if your concern is related to sales tax or payroll tax?

If your concern is specifically about sales tax, you can make a sales tax adjustment in QuickBooks Online. It's important to note that QuickBooks Online automatically calculates the total sales tax rate based on various factors, such as your customer's sales tax-exempt status, the location of the sale/shipment, and the sales tax category of your products or services. The total sales tax rate includes both state rates and local rates, including city, county, and/or district rates.

Here's how: 

1. Go to Taxes from the left menu, then Sales Tax tab.
2. Enter the date range in the Due Date Start and Due Date End ▼ dropdowns, then select Refresh.
3. Find the tax period you need to adjust, then select View return.
4. Tap Add an adjustment.
5. Select the Reason for the adjustment.
6. Choose the Account for adjusting sales tax.
7. Enter the adjustment amount.
8. Click Add.

On the other hand, if your concern is related to payroll taxes, we can double-check the rate to ensure that it is correct. It may be necessary to review your payroll settings or consult with a payroll specialist to ensure accurate calculations.
