Payroll Taxes Not deducted Correctly

  • March 6, 2020

Due to a glitch after upgrading to the latest qb version (desktop pro 2020), payroll taxes were not deducted from employees paychecks last pay period.  We caught the error and two employees brought their paychecks back in and were adjusted and reissued.  Our other employee had already deposited his.  

 

For this pay period, will quickbooks automatically calculate and deduct the correct amount in taxes from this individual's check (including what should have been deducted in the prior paycheck), or do I need to adjust this manually?

Thanks for reaching out, @pawsit.

 

QuickBooks will automatically detect the missing withholding on the last payroll run and add it on to the next check. I recommend checking your payroll updates before running payroll to make sure you have the latest tax tables. It's super easy and only takes a moment. Check it out:

 

  1. To determine the most recent available tax table, click this link to go to the Payroll Support window. In the Intuit QuickBooks Payroll News & Updates pane at the left, scroll down to the summary for the latest payroll update.
  2. In QuickBooks Desktop, go to Employees > Get Payroll Updates. Check the version of the tax table you have.
  3. The first line in the Get Payroll Updates window, "You are using tax table version: #####," lists the tax table version. Click Payroll Update Info to see summary information and changes.

 

That's it! If you have any other questions, let me know by hitting the Reply button below. I'm here to help.

We have the same issue.  We updated the password in the EFTPS system, updated in Quickbooks payroll system and for the past 6+ months are still having issues.  Joel (or Joe) from Quickbooks finally called us back today, took our EIN and email address and said he would investigate the issue 3 - 4 hours ago.  We are waiting for him to call us back.  Very frustrating because we have been submitting our payroll taxes on time, and they return them as 'rejected'.
