QB online Payroll adjustment tax payment discrepancy

Hello,

01/02/2025- I run a payroll for a first paycheck of 2025.

01/03/2025- I had to decrease the state unemployment tax rate which was effective from 01/01/2025.

01/17/2025- I run payroll again for a second paycheck.

QB created an adjustment to the taxes so it collected less taxes on 01/17 due to the adjustment. Everything is ok with that but the problem is that now when the taxes were withdrawn from my bank account, it doesn't have a match with the tax payment that is recorded on QB for the 01/17/25 payroll. I can click resolve difference but I'm not sure under which account I should put the difference?  See attached photo

I posted this question after i contacted your support team, They don't know how to help.

It's not that i don't know how to categorize it. Its about QB not matching the tax payment.

I appreciate you reaching out to our Live Support Team, @americanm1. I'll share details to help deal with the tax payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

In QBO, please know that the correction will only appear on the payroll side and not on the accounting side or when using the Find other matches option. To address this, you can resolve the difference and utilize the same account where tax payments get posted. This way, your records stay accurate and easy to track.Additionally, check out this article to help you compare your bank statement with your QBO balance: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
