Need HELP with Payroll screw-up

Jan 08, 2006 2 Replies

Hello



I need some help to fix a mistake a made a few months back in QB. I had received a FUTA refund check from the IRS and I used a "make deposit" to my bank and made it to the payroll liability FUTA account as a credit. The bank account has been long reconcilied.



Now I find I should have used the "Deposit of Refund Liabilities" because the "make deposit" doesn't update my liability accounts...hence QB is giving the wrong info on my FUTA/940 report.



What I WANT to do is change that "make deposit" to at "deposit of refund" but I don't know how or even if I can. I can't just delete the deposit because it will screw up 3/4 months of bank reconciles. argh!



I tried using a phoney asset account but that didn't work either since the "deposit of refund" can only use bank accounts.



Any ideas?



thanks

You have no choice. Delete the deposit - or that check from the deposit, which ever applies.

When you have finished the deposit of refund into your bank account - same day you actually deposited it, go into the bank account register and check it off as reconciled. You just fixed your bank reconciles.
