Question

I need help adjusting a 941 report discrepancy

When I filed my Qtr 1 941 report in April I had a discrepancy of $131.83. I hadn’t realized there was an error and was against the wall to file my report so I simply did an override. I thought wow, that was easy. And it was - until Qtr 2 came along.

I know where the discrepancy occurred. For some reason the company contribution on one employee’s paycheck (3/20/26) had been set at $0.00. I received a CP161 notice and paid it through EFTPS on 6/2/26. Now QB shows I have a CREDIT of $131.83. I can’t find an adjustment or anything anywhere. I’ve tried every kind of adjustment I can think of and nothing changes. I tried adding the deduction back onto the employees paycheck (careful not to change the net pay) and it didn’t work. I even deleted the payment  I made through EFTPS but the “credit” remains. I’m now almost 2 weeks late on filing the Qtr 2 report. All I can find online is that you need to make an adjustment -- I find nothing about HOW to do it. I ran a payroll checkup and of course it shows this discrepancy but all it says is you must make an adjustment. No idea how to do it and make it stick.

I really need help.
