Thanks for posting in the Community, @1kevtaylor.

 

In QuickBooks Online, payroll taxes are withheld based on the information entered on the respective profile. Below is the following information that needs to be entered accurately so taxes withheld are also calculated correctly:

 

• Taxable wages

• Number of allowances/dependents

• Pay frequency

• Filing status

 

But if you wanted to manually adjust the withholding amount, the option is not available as of the moment. You can read this article to learn more:  Federal and State Income Taxes are Withheld under IRS Publication.

 

Additionally, you might also find this article helpful in preparing the payment of your taxes and filing them to your agency: Pay and file payroll taxes online.

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with aside from your payroll tax, please let me know in the comments. Stay safe!
