Question

QB set up an unemployment filing for our company that doesn't apply. How do I get rid of the "filings" prompt?

We are in one state and have 3 employees that live in another but work in our state. We do not have to pay unemployment to their home state. But I have "upcoming tax filings" for that state.

Hi HugoSyd!

 

You have an option to update the tax exemptions of your employees. Let me help you!

 

Please follow these steps on how to review and update it:

  1. Go to the Workers or Payroll menu and select Employees.
  2. Click the employee's name, then Edit employee.
  3. Under the withholdings section, click the Edit (Pencil) icon.
  4. From the Tax exemptions section, choose the state tax to be exempted.
  5. Tap Done or Save.

 

Once done, you'll see a pop-up to inform you of your next steps, the taxes that are updated, and whether or not you have to reimburse the employee in the next check. Also, you will see adjustment checks on your paycheck list.

 

In addition, you can check this link: Run payroll reports. This will show you how to pull up payroll-related reports in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

Get back to this post anytime if you have more questions about payroll. I'll help you!

Nope, that wasn't the question. I have the employee tax set correctly. No tax was ever withheld. But under tax filings QB is telling me to file Unemployment quarterly for the state that doesn't require it. Both quarters that it has reminders for are zero balance with a made-up id number (12345678).

How do I get rid of the QB generated quarterly filing?
