Cannot create a check because you have already made OR tax payments for the quarter. Please enter a check date in next quarter

You cannot create a check for a pay period already covered by the quarterly tax payment made or if you have a scheduled payroll tax to pay, Marcie. I can share a way to work around the error or contact our live experts to assist you in resolving the error.

If you paid the payroll tax manually, you can generate payroll again by removing the tax payment. To proceed, follow the steps below:

1. On the left panel, select the Payroll menu.
2. Go to the Payroll tax page.
3. On the Payroll Tax Center, select Payments.
4. Click Payment history at the right side of the page.
5. On the Payroll tax payments page, choose the tax type and click Delete payment.

However, you need to contact our Payroll Support Team if the status of your payment is still in process or if the tax payment is made electronically. They have the necessary tools to pull up your account securely and assist you with this matter. I'll show you how.

1. Go to the Help icon on the top menu.
2. Select the Search tab and enter your concern. For instance, enter Payroll or copy and paste the error you encountered.
3. Click the Contact Us button and choose between Chat or Callback to connect with us.
