Does anyone else think that quickbooks is not taking enough taxes out of the payroll checks?

Thanks for bringing this up in the Community, @mjdinc. I’ve got some information on why QuickBooks isn’t taking enough taxes out of the payroll checks.

There are various reasons why some paychecks are incorrectly calculated. Most of the reasons are:

• Incorrect employee payroll item setup
• The wage limit has been reached
• Inaccurate Year-to-date (YTD) amount

Please know that QuickBooks calculates payroll checks based on the information you’ve entered.

You can take the following actions below to fix it:

1. Check your payroll setup, such as wages, deductions, and contributions, then update if needed.
2. Verify if they’ve reached the limit you set to withhold for a certain period.
3. Review your SUI rates, and then update if necessary.
