Question

Employee Withholding caused a duplicate line item.

I have an employee that for personal reasons only worked a couple hours in a payroll.  The employee withheld the entire paycheck, however employer taxes still applied. QBO created an accounting entry for the employer taxes in Payroll: Taxes as duplicate because the Tax Payment we paid as employer already included that amount.  There is no bank feed and no register entry for the extra employer tax entry and I cannot figure out how to delete/modify it.
