ERC Adjustment on Lacerte

Maria  T Trujillo

I am trying to report the amount of ERC refund, but the refund is split between salaries & wages and payroll taxes. There is a line on screen 15 Ordinary Deductions under Salaries and Wages that is labeled "Less: employee retention credit claimed on employment tax returns." I am able to use that line to adjust the salaries and wages, but I had to apply a negative adjustment under Payroll Taxes to adjust that total reduction in payroll taxes. That gives me the correct amount on the federal return, however, on the state return is out of balance on the Schedule M-1, and in the balance sheet by the payroll tax adjustment amount. How can I fix this issue? Can Lacerte add the same line under the Payroll Taxes section of screen 15 to be balanced on both federal and state?
