Hi rehobet23

 

When running your balance sheet, make sure it runs to the last day of the month.  Often what ends up happening is the various payroll software record the liability on the last day of the month, so if you pay it out before then, and run your balance sheet it shows the payment but not the owing amount - hence the negative value you see.

 

Hope this helps!
