I'll share some troubleshooting steps you can perform to address the issue of no tax withheld from a paycheck.

 

No tax withheld from a paycheck if the employee is exempt or does not meet the minimum wage threshold. If the employee wants taxes withheld, there are ways to verify.

 

You need a federal W-4 form and a state withholding form, if applicable, to handle employee taxes. Review forms with employees for accuracy. Factors can impact withholding tax calculations.

 

  • How much is your employee's salary
  • Pay frequency
  • Marital status
  • Number of dependents
  • Other sources of income

 

For more details, refer to this article: Troubleshoot no income tax withheld from a paycheck.

 

Moreover, you can also revert paychecks as needed if there are changes or new updates installed. When you revert a paycheck, it goes back to the original info. Then, you can apply the recent changes or updates installed. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Employees, then select Pay Employees.
  2. Pick Scheduled Payroll or Unscheduled Payroll.
  3. Choose Resume Scheduled Payroll. You will see some employees’ names highlighted in yellow. These are the employees that have had changes.
  4. Right-click on the employee name that is highlighted in yellow.
  5. Click Revert Paychecks

 

If the issue persists after all those steps, it would be best for you to contact our QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Support Team.
