Thank for joining this thread, Jacuff.
Once a tax liability is set up from the payroll schedule, you're unable to remove it. Just make sure the garnishment liability has a zero amount in the system.
If you have other types of liabilities, such 401(k) contributions, health insurance, and dental insurance, you can remove them. Let me show you how to delete a scheduled payroll liability in QuickBooks Desktop:
- Go to Employees, then select Payroll Center.
- Click the Pay Liabilities tab.
- Select Change Payment Method from the Other Activities drop-down list.
- In the QuickBooks Payroll Setup window, select Benefit and Other Payments.
- Select Schedule Payments, and double-click the payroll item to edit.
- Under Payment Frequency, select the I don't need a regular payment schedule for this item option.
- Select Finish, and click Finish again.
I've added this article: Run payroll liability balances report to get answers to questions about payroll liabilities.
Stay in touch with me if you need additional information. Just tag my name and I'll get back to you.
