set withholding %

Thank you for reaching out today, @kr090901. I get that you want to establish a specific standard percentage for federal withholding. This option is unavailable as the calculation is based on several factors and I'll be providing the details below.

Withholding calculations must follow IRS and state guidelines. QuickBooks Online Payroll automatically calculates Federal income tax using the IRS's percentage method, based on the employee's gross wages, filing status, and Form W-4 information. Federal withholding amounts may vary throughout the year due to changes in the employee's wages, such as bonuses or additional pay.

Moreover, you can check your employee's W-4 filing status set up and use IRS guidelines for more details.
