Question

Colorado FAMLI

Can someone please help me? I've spent 11 hours the past 3 days speaking with Customer Support, and no one can figure this out. When I input .45% for employee and 0% for employer (less than 10 employees), it will NOT save this info. When I exit and then go back into an employee's other tax info, the rates are set back to 0% for both. I guess it wants both the employer and employee to contribute, but the FAMLI program does not require that. HELP!!!

Hi there, @Phil419.

 

I understand this hasn't been easy for you and your employees. Let me  share some troubleshooting steps to make sure that the contribution rate for Colorado Family calculates correctly.

 

To start, let's make sure the tax table is updated to the latest release. It's is possible that the tax table is not downloaded successfully that's why it's not calculating the taxes correctly.

 

To do this, here's how:

 

  1. Go to Employees, then select Get Payroll Updates.
  2. Click the Download Entire Update checkbox.
  3. Select Download Latest Update. An informational window appears when the download is complete.

 

For the complete guide, please see this article: Get the latest payroll tax table update.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend running the Verify Rebuild tool. This scans your company file for errors and self-resolves it right away. Here’s how.

 

To Verify:

 

  1. Go to the Window menu and select Close All.
  2. Then, go to the File menu.
  3. Select Utilities.
  4. Click Verify Data.

 

To Rebuild:

 

  1. Go to the File menu.
  2. Select Utilities.
  3. Click Rebuild Data.
