Employer taxes charged to employees

Hi there, good thing you posted your concern here on the Community page. 

Handling employer taxes in QuickBooks Online involves setting up and managing your payroll correctly. Taxes that are being calculated are based on how your account is set up and the specific payroll setup you have configured. 

To handle employer taxes charged to employees, make sure that you've set up your payroll in QuickBooks Online correctly and ensure that you're complying with all federal, state, and local tax regulations. 

If the employees are underwithheld or overwithheld, you need to make adjustments to correct it. You can run the Payroll summary report which displays the total payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions. This also identifies wage and tax discrepancies. Here's how to pull up the report:
 

1. Go to Reports and select Standard.
2. Scroll down to the Payroll section.
3. Select Payroll Summary.

Please know that the amounts showing under Employer Taxes are those taxes that the employer is responsible for paying on behalf of their employees.
