Employees and payroll
Recently active
My client decided he wanted a lump sum payroll at year end 2024, with a pay date of 12/31/24. I saw in January that there were no W-2's populated for the tax year. I have been trying to get in touch with a QB agent, but since the hours of service have changed I have had no luck.
I have QB desktop and have recently started using direct deposit. I already had an HSA account set up previously, and have followed instructions on another thread in order to add a payroll item for the HSA Addition item and also to set it up in the employee's direct deposit in their payroll info. My question is do I add both the deduction and addition payroll items for the HSA in their payroll Additions, deductions, and contributions list? Are they entered to counter balance one another? I've included a screenshot of what I mean.
I set my company up for Manual Payroll on QB Desktop. I went through the Payroll Setup and was able to open Pay Employees one time. I didn't finish the payroll becuase I was just playing around at the time, but now I cannot get Pay Employees to open at all. I have run verify, rebuild, file doctor, updates, everything and I get nothing when I click on Pay Employees from the Home screen and from the top menu.
When I try, it says an error occurred. I don't know what's going on, but I don't want anyone to get audited for not reporting 1099s that were submitted to the IRS in error.
Our accounts are perfectly mapped, the tax payment was auto-entered in our register, but the employee paychecks aren't there, but were paid from the same account and I can see them when I run the paycheck list. Where did they go???

Our Employees direct deposit in QB was hacked/changed and QB funded the deposits to errored/fraud banks. All deposits for different people went to the same bank (obvious fraud). We found out about it on payday. I spent hours on the phone with QB trying to get them to stop or reverse direct deposit. They could see the banks and routing had been changed. Then we got our bank to stop pay to QB payroll so we could pay our employees. Then this week QB has us locked out of payroll and we have sent everything to the Fraud email and even though it says a reply will be provided in 48 hours it wasn't. We got an email from QB demanded the money they funded to the fraud accounts. So we are using a system that offers no security to businesses or employees for their payroll. QB should definitely be able to reverse a charge or not chargeback a business who was a victim of fraud. We have all the police reports, cyber crimes info etc and can't a hold of a human at QB who can get t

social security number is incorrect
Hello, Is it known bug? After I update an employee e-mail and go to "Invite to Workforce". Contact info still shows the old e-mail. How can I send invitation to workforce for an employee if one has a different e-mail than initially added. Can you help? Thanks

1099 help please if I write checks and have it reconciled. How do I print or email them?
Last year I accidentally paid my PA withholding tax twice in the same quarter. I paid it through QuickBooksand then went online and paid it again. I have a credit sitting out there with them but don't know how to clear it up in Quick Books. I've tried to call to see if they will send me a check but I can't get through to a real person.If I deduct it from my payment in March it will make my figures wrong in QB. The tax amounts are right in QB so how can I correct it, plus it was in last year and my books have been closed for 2024. Thank you so much if you can clear this up for me.
I just finish migrating desk top to online. every thing looks ok. except that when I went to do my payroll for the first time the YTD Hourly Amount is showing on the sick day row and non of the holiday previously paid is showing neither the sick day paid
I received a very disturbing email from QuickBooks "Mineral" it said "Are we permitted to ask applicants about their immigration status?" Their email states no, which is INCORRECT!! You absolutely need to make sure an employee is permitted to work! You can be fined and receive serious legal consequences for not asking for an applicant's tax identification and work permit status!!! You can't even file a W2 or 1099 without asking status. This is not a political issue, everyone in the business knows what is required to hire someone! A natural born citizen has tax identification and immigrant of any status receives a temporary work permit which is REQUIRED BY LAW!! You cannot legally pay anyone without their tax identification and work permit status! Shame on Intuit QuickBooks! You should not give out false information.
If an employer is supposed to report SS & Medicare Taxes that were withheld from an employee by a Third-Party for short-term disability sick pay, but aren't actually supposed to withhold those taxes because the Third-Party withheld them, how is that addressed on an employee's paycheck? QB will not allow to withhold only the Employer portion of SS & Medicare taxes without withholding the Employee portion as well when posting the Third-Party Sick Pay to an employee's record. How am I supposed to ensure an Employee's W-2 is correct if I'm not supposed to deduct Employee SS & Medicare taxes from Sick Pay but it's supposed to reflect on their W-2?Can this be addressed through a liability adjustment versus a payroll item or does Third-Party Sick Pay have to be posted within an Employee's "Paycheck"? I hope I'm making sense.
I manage very few credit card transactions and they are all handled exclusively through QB Payments with no website e-commerce. QB is trying to tell me that I'm not PCI compliant and they want me pay SecurityMetrics to verify my compliance, but the PCI website says I can self-assess using SAQ-A and an AOC. I don't know how to submit this to QB without using the 3rd party. The QB TOS do not mention anything about verification or certification. They just list the actual 12 requirements that constitute PCI compliance, all of which I meet or are N/A. Frankly, this all feels quite scammy?
How do I set up for electronic filing but sending paper check for payment
I looked over some paychecks and noticed that Oregon Paid Family Leave for employees stopped calculating in 2025. I looked at the payroll item list and the limit was raised to $176,100.00 and the rate (amount) stayed at 1%. Why is this no longer calculating on my employee's paychecks? All payroll update have been done. Please help. Thank you!
I am trying to email paystubs to employees from QBO but there are no options for emails. The only option is to print. How do you email paystubs?
On 2/14 Intuit made an adjustment to our payroll and created a check paid to “QuickBooks Payroll Service” for FUTA correction connected the previous year. The money was taken from the company account, so we were thinking that the subject had been completed. But just a few days later we received a letter from IRS standing that we owed:the amount that Intuit just took from our account+ "failure-to-pay penalty"+ "interest charges"My questions are:Who pays the amount to IRS? Since the money was already taken from our account by Intuit I would think Intuit had to transfer this money, right?Now, who pays the penalty and interest fees? We are on automatic payroll mode, so I assume it is Intuit who is responsible for all payments to be done on time, correct?Less important but also to resolve: my payroll report is off by the amount of the adjustment made by Intuit. It has been posted as a check but what should I do to make my report correct?
QBO withdrew $700 from my bank, indicating it was for state unemployment taxesIssue 1 - the amount is 5x what it normally is and what was actually owed based on the state calculationIssue 2 - the state never received this money (I called and they confirmed, and the website also does not show this payment)A month later I manually paid the $120 owed for state income taxI called QB for a refund, but they insist they paid the state so they will not refund the moneyWe confirmed my company information is entered correctly (no recent changes and no issue w/ other state or federal automated payments)QB said if the state issues an unpaid notice then they can take further action. The state WONT issue an unpaid notice, because nothing has been unpaid, I made the actual necessary payment once it was clear QB had not sent my money. So, how do I get my refund?Every time I call in I provide the ticket number yet the agent seems confused and starts troubleshooting the situation from scratc
Hi! I’m looking for guidance on the best way to pay a non-U.S. contractor through QuickBooks. We have remote workers based in Ghana, Egypt and Philippines, and we understand that QuickBooks Payroll does not support payments to international contractors.From what I’ve gathered from different community forums:- Add the contractor as a vendor or Contractor in QuickBooks.- Use a third-party payment service (such as Melio, Veem or Wise) for international payments.- Enable the multicurrency feature to manage transactions in different currencies- Obtain a completed Form W-8BEN from the contractor for compliance. Can you confirm if this is the best approach? Additionally, do you know any integrated third-party payment services that handle both currency conversion and year-end reporting for non-U.S. contractors?Looking forward to your guidance.
