Question

It just came to our attention that no taxes have been coming out of our employees checks but we have been paying Fed & State taxes as a business per our schedule.

I've got some details about why the payroll taxes aren't deducted, 1016thave-gmail-.

 

QuickBooks Online calculates taxes based on these factors:

 

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

 

You can check your employees’ profiles to see if they are set up correctly. Once you've verified that the setup is correct, I suggest checking the Payroll Tax and Wage Summary report. It shows detailed information about how QuickBooks calculates tax amounts on employee paychecks and the wage base limit for each employee's tax.

 

Let me guide how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports tab located on the left pane. 
  2. Type Payroll Tax and Wage Summary in the search box and press Enter
  3. Modify the date range and click Run Report
  4. Click the Federal Income tax under Federal Taxes (940/941).

 

For a detailed guide, you can use this article: Payroll tax wage bases and limits.
