    Hello there, Rlhanna.

     

    Thank you for reaching out about your overpayment on the payroll remittance.

     

    It’s important to correctly record this overpayment so your bank reconciliation matches and your accounts stay accurate. I'll provide you the steps below on how to record the overpayment on your remittance. 

     

    Here's how:

     

    1. Select Payments. All outstanding tax payments display.
    2. Select Pay to the right of the tax period you'd like to record a payment for.
    3. Review the information on the next page and select Record payment.

     

    You can refer to this article for more information: Payroll taxes and forms in QuickBooks.

     

    When reconciling your bank statement, you’ll want to ensure the payment matches the transaction showing on the statement while recording the overpayment appropriately.
