Desktop payroll center liabilities

Hello! I have more than one problem...

First, I somehow have FOUR Federal withholding lines for September's IRS USA payments rather than TWO as in every previous months (two employees). How do I delete all but the two I need?? (Marked as yellow in pic)

Second, my QB IL unemployment insurance amounts do not match what my accountant paid to the state in quarter one & two of this calendar year. How do I reconcile these discrepancies? They took their numbers directly from my QB payroll reports. (most recent quarter marked in red in pic) Quarter three looks to be right on point.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, Henry County, IL SWC! Nice to see you here. Could you let me know if the payment was processed electronically?

 

Secondly, to fix unemployment insurance discrepancies in QuickBooks Desktop, first manually update your State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate, as it's not always included in automatic tax table updates. If the payment amounts still don't match, you may need to make an adjusting entry to payroll liabilities or manually match bank feed transactions if the issue is with a specific payment. However, we highly recommend connecting with your accountant, as they would have better knowledge of your business and your business accounts. 

 

I am looking forward to your response as we try to resolve this issue! See you in a few!
