Question

NY State Disability Insurance

I am setting up quickbooks online from Quickbooks desktop. Everything seems to have transferred over fine except in my payroll. It did not move over the NYSDI rate and is not deducting that in the paychecks. NY allows the following: 

DB Standard Premium Rates

Premiums are capped at $24.75 per person annually. New York State law allows employers to deduct 0.5% of an employee's weekly wage, up to a maximum of $0.60 per week, for employees to contribute to DB premium costs.

 

However there is no setting to account for this in Quickbooks, so my imported data does not match what was actually paid to my staff. How do I get the SDI in the system.

Hi there, @mcagymnastics.

 

I'd like to clarify why the New York State Disability Insurance is not deducted from your paychecks. 

 

After switching from QuickBooks Desktop, there are some data that won't transfer to QBO. Additionally, the details behind the transactions are not converted. For instance, the summary of the payroll items and the employee year-to-date figures. Thus, you'll have to enter your employee’s year-to-date paycheck info. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as the primary admin.
  2. Go to Payroll, and then select Overview.
  3. If you haven’t already, add all of your employees paid this year in the Tell us about your team task. Include all employees that no longer work for you. Make sure to set up each pay item, deduction, contribution and tax showing on their pay stubs or reports.
  4. Next to Add your payroll history, select Start.

 

I'm adding this article so you won't miss any information: Set up a prior payroll. It helps you edit the history if you enter incorrect details.

 

I'd like to share this article so we can review what transactions and information can be moved to QuickBooks Desktop: What to expect when you switch from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. 

 

Moreover, I recommend checking our QuickBooks Support page for QBO. Here, you can browse some articles that can guide you in learning your ways around QBO.

 

Feel free to get back to this thread if you have other payroll concerns with QuickBooks. I'll be around to assist you. Have a blissful day ahead.
