Thanks for following this thread, @aquinones. I can help you record tax payments to get rid of the overdue status and ensure that your tax reports are accurate.
The most suitable way of recording the tax payments you've made outside QuickBooks is entering them as historical tax payments in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how to do it:
- Go to the Help menu, then choose About QuickBooks.
- Press Ctrl + Alt + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Y to open the Setup YTD Amounts window.
- Click Next until you reach the Enter prior payments section.
- In the Enter Prior Payments window, select Create Payment to enter all prior payroll tax and non-tax payroll liability payments you've made.
- Enter the Payment Date and For Period Ending date accordingly.
- In the Taxes and Liabilities field, choose the payroll tax item that you've already paid, then enter the amount.
- Select test the Accounts Affected... button, then select the appropriate option on how you want the payment to affect your Chart of Accounts.
- Click Next Payment (if you've another payment that needs to be recorded), then select Finish to complete the process.
