Overpayment of source deduction

I received a cheque from the MRQ for a reimbursement of $236.04 regarding deductions at source (Taxes, RRQ, FSS, RQAP) for the 2018 tax year. I guess I overpaid them. My fiscal year is June 1st to May 31st.

How do I enter this in Simply Accounting?  What entry do I make?

Do I need to create a specific account to record this overpayment?

Should it be a general entry like this one below?

    I have a similar problem; The FSSQ  (QHSF) rate changed and I only noticed it after making a couple of paychecks. Because of this difference, I overpaid and received a check from the government. Since my books balance, due to the error, I'm not sure where to put the credit.  I don't think it should go in any of the source deduction accounts.

    Also, on the same wave length; does anyone have an idea of why my amount payable, again FSSQ, changed from 23.68 (dec 31st) to 21.65$ on January 1st? Because of this, my payment no longer balances. As you can see, I'm quite behind in my accounting...lol!
