Clearing Payroll Liability Accounts

On a quarterly or annual basis, a balancing process should be run on your Payroll Liability Accounts.  These type of accounts should be checked periodically. This is an easy look after processing payroll.  Go to View Trend (F4), find your Account- 2360 in our case.  The account balance won’t be zero, but you can see the balance of that account.  Most of these accounts are paid on a quarterly basis, some are paid on a monthly basis.  Depending on what month you pay those in, some of those accounts may be zero at some point.
