Other Payroll Items not calculating user-defined payroll item

I have an issue getting local taxes to work in QuickBooks 2017.

I entered a new payroll item:

Tax tracking type: Local income tax

Calculate based on quantity: Neither (though I've tried all three)

Default rate and limit: Rate: 1.85% Limit: (blank) Limit type: One-time (though I've tried all three)
Taxable compensation: (all payroll items)


I then went into the employee setup - Payroll Info - Taxes - Other

Under Item name I selected the new, user-defined payroll item

OK - OK to save settings and exit


But, when I create a paycheck, this payroll item does not show user Other Payroll Items.  If I try to choose something myself under Other Payroll Items, I get, "You are not allowed to add, delete, or change the Other Tax payroll items here," and directions to go back into the employee setup - Payroll Info - Taxes - Other.


I created this new payroll item after I had already started a paycheck.  Perhaps I should start the paycheck from scratch?  If so, how do I delete the saved paycheck entry? (this paycheck was never finished, it is just a draft)
