How do I edit historic tax payments?

I'm trying to get rid of the red past due on my Pay Taxes page and read that you could enter prior tax history to bring it current if you've paid the taxes outside QuickBooks. I did this but it's saying overpayment. I have 2 questions...How can I edit the historic tax payment I just entered? And how can I make QuickBooks match my payment? We paid a penalty and so the check we sent was higher than the taxes due.
