Question

Federal taxes are not being withheld from my paycheck

For some reason Quickbooks is not withholding federal taxes from my paycheck. I called them about this earlier in the year, and they said it was because of tax law changes I would not owe any. Now I am filing my taxes and I owe money. What gives? Quickbooks is starting off 2022 and still not with holding.

Welcome to the Community, handsonautotech.

 

QuickBooks calculates the federal withholding taxes based on the following elements: 

 

  • Taxable wages
  • Number of allowances/dependents
  • Pay frequency
  • Filing status

Federal taxes, especially federal withholding, are calculated based on the employee's setup. Let's review the details to make sure they're taken out of your employee's paychecks. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
  2. Click the name of the employee, then click the Pencil icon beside Pay.
  3. Go to Step2 or the part where the employee's withholding or W4 are set up, then click the Pencil icon underneath it.
  4. Review the details and make sure all information is correct.
  5. Click Done.

If you're still not getting any taxes even if all the details are correct, please contact our Payroll Support Team. They can take a closer look at this to determine why the federal taxes are not calculating for the rest of the employees.
