Let me share some information about why payroll taxes are not deducting form your paychecks, patriot19357.

 

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.

 

Once done running payroll update, please revert your employee's paycheck. This refreshes your payroll information to calculate the taxes on the transaction.

 

Here's how:

 

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

    I recently upgraded to QB Desktop Pro Plus with Enhanced Payroll. Now, when I do payroll, no taxes are taken out. I ran an update but same problem. Thanks, Ed

    Good day, @EJB709.

     

    Thank you for sharing your concern here in the Community space. I'll be more than happy to help you in addressing your payroll concern in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

     

    If you've already updated your payroll tax table and QBDT to its latest release, let's proceed to reverting your employee's paycheck. This way, you can refresh your payroll information to calculate the taxes.

     

    Here's how:

     

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

     

    If you're still getting a similar result, follow the recommended steps listed in this article: Correct a payroll item set up when a payroll item on a paycheck is not calculating or calculating incorrectly.
