Question

Colorado FAMLI payroll items not working

  • January 3, 2023

Using 2022 Desktop Premier Plus with the latest payroll update running.  I've done all of the CO - FAMLI set up and I'm not seeing any deductions on my employee payroll.  The state says the tax should apply to all of this payroll (it's the pay date that counts, not when the pay was earned).   

 

There are fewer than 9 employees and the company is NOT paying the tax, the employees are.  Each employee has both of the company and employee items set up (co 0%, emp 100%).  When I look at the Preview Paycheck the company item shows under Company Summary with $0 but the employee item does not show under Employee Summary.  

 

Have I missed a step in the set up?  Is the employee item not working correctly?

Hey there, @Blue-River.

 

Let me help you fix this. You can go to your employee profile and check if CO- Total Surcharge and CO-Paid Fam Med Leave Emp. are available or not.

 

 

If those items aren't available then it might be the reason why it is not reflected in your employee summary. What you'll do is input them in the item and click Ok to save it. 

 

You can also check if there are other taxes that need to be present so that you can enter them as well.

 

To review if you set up it correctly, you can read through this article: Set up Colorado Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program (FAMLI).

 

Once done, preview your paycheck and let see if is now reflected.

 

Let me know how it goes by replying to this thread. I'll be willing to assist you. Take care!

Thank you Bryan.  Yes, all of the employees have both payroll items available to them.  The company item has the portion rate as 0% and the employee portion rate as 100%.  Still not working.  Thank you!

You're welcome, @Blue-River.

 

First off, I want to appreciate you for following the steps provided by my colleague above. Permit me to join the conversation to assist you further in setting up the Colorados FAMLI payroll item.

 

Let's update your payroll tax table to the most recent version to identify this unusual problem. But we'll have to update your QuickBooks Desktop Payroll program to the most recent version first.

 

Once done, we can now go ahead and update your payroll tax table.  Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu.
  2. Select Get Payroll Updates.
  3. Click the Download Entire Update checkbox.
  4. Select the Download Latest Payroll Update.

 

When finished, let's revert your employees' paychecks. Since we've installed a payroll update, reverting the paycheck will undo the payroll data that are saved before the update.

 

  1. Go to Employees, then select Pay Employees
  2. Select Scheduled Payroll or Unscheduled Payroll.
  3. Select Resume Scheduled Payroll. You’ll see some employees’ names highlighted in yellow. These are the employees that have had changes.
  4. Right-click on the employee name that’s highlighted in yellow.
  5. Select Revert Paychecks.

 

In addition, a guide on how to correct year-to-date (YTD) additions or deductions on a paycheck is also provided here: Correct year-to-end additions or deductions on a paycheck when the wrong tracking type was used.

 

Please know that you're always welcome to post here if you need further assistance in managing your payroll items in QBDTP. You have a good one.
