Colorado Unemployment Wage Limits

Hi there, @clfp. I'd be glad to share some information about how QuickBooks calculates State Unemployment Wage Limits. 

QuickBooks Desktop's calculation is based on your state as it automatically changes the new wage limit once there are updates to stay compliant with the tax laws and regulations, thus, overriding this is not advisable. Check out this article for more information: Understand payroll tax wage bases and limits.

You may also want to download the latest tax table to have accurate rates and calculations for federal-supported state taxes, payroll forms, and e-file and e-pay options. 

On the other hand, you can get in touch with our Payroll Support Team to see if they can override the calculation for you or provide the best workaround. Here's how:

1. Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.
2. Select Contact Us.
3. Give a brief description of your issue, then select Continue.
4. Sign in to your Intuit account then select Continue and then Continue with my account
5. We'll email you a single-use code. Enter your code and select Continue
6. Select to chat with us or Have us call you.

I'm also including this article for you to find information on the latest payroll update (22316) as well as earlier release updates: Get latest payroll news and updates in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

Additionally,  I’m adding this link so you'll stay on top of the year-end filing. This resource provides detailed information regarding the specific dates for conducting your final payroll, submitting tax forms, and engaging in other payroll-related tasks: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
