An employee didn't have CPP taken from their pay. After adjustments, there are extra taxes due. Is there a way to add those to the payment that comes out for Jan15th ?

Hi there, info-abalancedbo,

In cases involving payroll or tax adjustments, where Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions were not previously deducted, and additional taxes are due, you can manually correct the affected paychecks from earlier periods to include them in the next payroll run.

Here’s how:

1. Go to Payroll and select Employees.
2. Open the Paycheck List.
3. Select the employee whose paycheck you want to adjust.
4. From the Make Adjustments dropdown, choose Edit.
5. Scroll to Employee Taxes and make the necessary changes.
6. Click Save to finalize the updates.

On top of that, to ensure the adjustments are accurate and fully compliant with regulations, I highly recommend consulting an accountant or payroll specialist. They can help ensure all changes are correctly reflected in your financial records.

Hi there, info.

In QBO, payroll taxes are assigned due dates based on the pay period they apply to. Overdue taxes from earlier adjustments will remain separate and cannot be combined with the upcoming January 15th payment, as the system processes each liability based on when it occurred.  

To manage this, pay the overdue taxes directly through the CRA or your tax agency. Then, record the payment in the program by following these steps:

1. Go to Payroll, then select Payroll taxes.
2. Select the Payments tab.
3. Find the tax payment you want to record and review the listed payments.
4. If the payment is listed, select Mark as paid from the dropdown menu.
5. Choose how you want to record the transaction:

• Select No, I’ll pay and post this transaction either in or out of QuickBooks if you want to handle it manually.
• Select Yes, I want this payment synced with my QuickBooks accounts to record the payment in QuickBooks.

       5. If printing a cheque, select Add to print cheque queue.

       6. Select the bank account from the Record to ▼ dropdown menu and the payment date.

       7. Add a Cheque number or Notes if needed.

       8. Click Mark paid, then select Done.

As this process involves past tax adjustments, I recommend consulting an accountant or payroll advisor to ensure everything is recorded correctly.
