Hi, @ LH123.

 

I'll be more than happy to help you in addressing your payroll concern in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

There are several reasons why payroll taxes aren't calculating. Among these are:

 

  • The total annual salary exceeds the salary limit.
  • The gross wages of the employee's last payroll are too low.
  • Ensure to run the latest payroll update to keep your taxes updated.

 

Let's make sure your QuickBooks is in the latest version as well as your tax table. Then, review the employee's tax setup since it affects how QuickBooks calculates it.

 

Next, revert your employee's paycheck once you've completed the payroll update. This updates your payroll data, allowing you to calculate transaction taxes.

 

Here's how:

  1. Open your employee's Payroll Information.
  2. Right-click the name of your employee which highlighted in yellow. 
  3. Choose Revert Paycheck
