Medicare Part B

Welcome to the Community space, @mnoecker.

You may need to have the latest payroll update as QuickBooks will automatically have the item entered for your employees affected.

By doing this, we can guarantee all components are up to date and will calculate correctly. I'll show you how:

Here's what you'll need to do:

1. Go to the File menu at the top.
2. Then, Close Company/Logoff.
3. Go back to the File menu and choose Exit.
4. Right-click the QuickBooks Desktop icon on your desktop, then select Run as administrator.
5. While on the No Company Open screen, pick Update QuickBooks from the Help menu. 
6. In the Options tab, choose Mark All and Save.
7. Mark the Reset Update box in the Update Now tab.
8. Click the Get Updates button.
9. Once the Update Complete appears, close and re-open the program.
10. If you get the message to install update, select Yes. Restart your computer after the installation. 

When done, proceed by downloading the latest tax table update:

1. From the Employees menu, choose Get Payroll Updates. 
2. Tap Download entire payroll update.
3. Select the Download Entire Update checkbox.
4. Click Download Latest Update.

A window will appear once the download is complete.
