Does QBO automatically stop making SUI payments when the wage limit is reached?

Thanks for reaching out to us here in the Community, @stanleyttu.

Yes, QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll is designed to automatically stop calculating and making SUI payments once your employees' wages reach the state-imposed wage limit, which for Texas is $9,000. 

Given that you have an overpayment, I recommend reviewing your previous paychecks to ensure they were calculated correctly. Here's how you can do that:

1. Navigate to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Click Paycheck list.
   
3. Select the paycheck(s) you'd like to review.

If your paycheck calculates to zero, it means that the wage limit has not been reached, and this could be why SUI is still being calculated.

However, if your paychecks are calculated accurately, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Payroll Support team. They have specialized tools, including screen-sharing capabilities, to investigate and resolve issues thoroughly, provide guidance on managing overpayments, and create a support ticket if further investigation is needed.

1. Log in to your QBO company, then go to Help (?).
