Payroll liability issue

Good afternoon Yaya2,

It is lovely to see you in the QuickBooks Community! I will be delighted to assist you. For your first question, we would need to create a custom liability check and type EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) in the check number field to help with the Overdue payroll screen. Here's how:

1. Go to Employees, select Payroll Center, then choose Pay Liabilities.
2. Under Other Activities, select Create Custom Payments.
3. In the Select Date Range for Liabilities window, set a date range, then OK.
4. Click To be printed if you want to print the liability check. Leave this clear if you issued a handwritten check.
5. Hit the bank account and the date you want to appear on the liability check.
6. Choose either Review your liability check to enter expenses/penalties or Create a liability check without reviewing.
7. Select the payroll item you want to pay, then select Create. Do note that for multiple payroll items, if they are paid into one agency, they are combined into a single liability check. Different agencies will produce multiple liability checks. Make sure the check amount and item list under Payroll Liabilities are accurate.
8. If you select Review your liability check to enter expenses/penalties, a liability check appears. If you didn’t, you can view the liability check in the check register.
9. For liabilities paid by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), clear the Print Later checkbox and type EFT in the NO. field of the liability check.
10. Go to the Expenses tab if you want to enter expenses/penalties on the liability check.
11. From the Account field drop-down, select the expense account you use to track payroll expenses and penalties, then enter the amount in the Amount column.
12. Select Recalculate, then Save and close the check. 

To help with your second question, could you confirm whether you have updated your payroll to the latest release? In the meantime, you could manually update your SUI by following the steps below:

1. From the top menu, go to Lists and select Payroll Item List. 
2. Double-click your state's unemployment company payroll item (e.g., "FL - Unemployment Company"). 
3. Click Next until you see the "Company tax rates" window. 
4. Enter the correct rates for each quarter and click Next, then Finish. 
5. Consider running the latest payroll tax table update from Employees, then select Get Payroll Updates to ensure all other tax rates are current. 

If you need to adjust prior payroll liabilities, follow the steps below. 

1. Go to Employees, then Payroll Taxes and Liabilities, and click Adjust Payroll Liabilities. 
2. Set the Date and Effective Date to the last paycheck date for the affected month or quarter. 
3. Under the Adjustment section, select Employee Adjustment, then choose the employee's name, even for company-paid items. 
4. In the Item Name column, select the incorrect unemployment payroll item. 
5. Enter the correct Amount of the adjustment. If you underpaid, enter a positive amount; if you overpaid, enter a negative amount. 
6. Click Next Adjustment, then repeat the steps for each affected employee. 
7. Click OK to save the adjustments.
