Hi BarbFahrenholz,
QuickBooks Payroll is setup to carry any payroll transactions over to the respective reports automatically if they are entered as liability checks from the Payroll center. If they are entered as "write checks" from the banking menu or accounts payable or check register, etc. those types of transactions need to be replaced as payroll type transactions in QuickBooks. We recommend you make a backup of your data first. Then re-create the the payment from the Payroll Center. (You can mark it with the original check number etc). and then void the other transaction).
Note: If the item is not showing in the payroll center, you'll need to setup the payment frequency from the "Related Payment Activities" and then "edit payment due dates/methods." You should be able to then see amounts for any liabilities from paychecks show up and be able to back date the replacement payment.
Once the transaction is recorded as a Payroll Liability check payment, you can then recreate your SUTA report and the payment should flow over.

Thanks for your articulate answer. I understand now that tax deposits must be entered as liability checks from the Payroll center. I did as you said and then created a new SUTA report. The payment didn't flow over; the report still shows the entire amount due. Hmmm. Am I still doing something wrong?

Hi again,
The most common reason is that the date of the payment doesn't fall in the time of the report. Can you look at the payment (Employee center has a Transactions tab, and select Liability checks) and see what is the "paid through" date and also the check date? Then if you are filing a Q1 report and if the payments for example are "through 3/31" you should see the amounts flow through when you recreate the new form... don't just open an existing draft of the previous copy.
If the dates all look correct then I'd probably refer you to our support team so they can check your data more closely. QB Support Enhanced Payroll: (800) 624-2106
