Taxes: Deleting a payment

If you haven't yet approved the payment

If you aren't ready to make the tax payment and you haven't approved it, you can delete it and create it again when you are ready to pay it.

1. Go here.
   (Or choose Taxes & Forms > Pay Taxes.) If you created a tax payment that you have not yet approved, you'll see a message with an approve link.
2. Click the approve link.
3. On the Approve Payment page, find the payment and click X in the Delete column.
4. Click Yes to confirm.

If you have approved the payment

and you paid the taxes manually: (for example, by mailing a check)

1. Go here.
   (Or choose Reports and then under Employer Reports, click Tax Payments.)
2. Click the date of the payment.
3. Click Delete, then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the payment.

and you paid the taxes electronically:

You cannot delete an electronic tax payment.

• If an electronic federal 941 payment failed (for example, because of insufficient funds), our system will allow you to create the payment again. If you’re not able to create it again, or if the payment was for federal 940 or 944 taxes, contact us.
• If there’s an issue with an electronic state tax payment, contact us. Generally, we can't delete a state e-payment. However, we might be able to help you resolve the issue.

If you made a tax payment outside of Intuit Online Payroll, you can record the payment so that it no longer appears in the list of due taxes and the To Do list. See Taxes: Recording a payment you made outside Intuit Online Payroll.
