In my payroll think QB is messed up. It keep showing many lines of tax deduction but I cannot deleted them, how to fix it

Good day, @tom260. I hope you're doing well. I have a few ideas based on what you've shared, but I need to grasp the situation more accurately to offer an appropriate solution.
 

First, could you please confirm whether you are currently in the process of running payroll or if these paychecks have already been processed? Knowing the status will help us provide more targeted assistance. Moreover, if you could specify whether this issue is occurring for all employees or just specific ones, that would be extremely helpful.
 

For better understanding of how QuickBooks calculates payroll taxes, I'd like to share some important insights. QuickBooks Online Payroll automatically calculates taxes based on several factors like the employee's W-4, pay frequency, and gross wages, using the percentage method. This means FIT amounts may fluctuate during the year if additional payments such as bonuses are given. Other taxes like Social Security, Medicare, and state-specific taxes are set by agencies and updated automatically within QuickBooks. For more detailed information, you can refer to the QuickBooks article: Understand how your payroll taxes are calculated.
 

In the meantime, I suggest checking your employee's profiles, especially their W-4 information, to ensure that the data in QuickBooks corresponds correctly with what your employee has provided. Errors in W-4 data can lead to inaccurate tax calculations.
 

1. Navigate to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Select the employee you wish to review.
3. Click on Tax withholding, then choose Edit.
4. In the Federal Withholding section, confirm the details from your employee’s W-4. 
5. Hit Save when done.
