Question

Change amount of original bill for estimated taxes

Our company thought we had a credit toward State PTE for 2021 and considered that when estimating our 2022 taxes.  Our state evaluated our evidence and denied our claim. (We already paid it).  This means that we have on our books a credit of $-1,000 under accrued PTE that should now should be fixed.  We then created a bill for 2022 estimated taxes due and have been making quarterly payments but the amount of the original bill is wrong by the same $1,000.  

We need to fix the $-1,000 in Accrued PTE and reduce the original bill entered for estimated taxes as we thought we would be applying the credit to the bill.

This is complicated to explain.  I just need not know how to fix this.  I think it will be two Journal entries, but I need to know exactly what to DR and CR.   I also need to know if I can just change the original bill amount.
