WA cares fund did show up last month but now it´s all zero for this month (and the previous month)

Thank you for making your post here in the Community forum. I see the WA Cares Fund was showing up for every employee in the October payroll but is now displaying as zero for the current and previous months. There are a few steps you can take to address this issue.

First, ensure that the WA Cares Fund item is still set up correctly in QuickBooks. Check the payroll item list to verify that the WA Cares Fund is active and accurately linked to the employee's payroll. By default, the rate of WA Cares Payroll item is 0%. You can review and ensure the item is set to 0.58% and assigned to the appropriate employee. 

If the item setup is correct, you may want to utilize the payroll reports to see if there are any discrepancies or errors in the calculations. For detailed information, refer to this article: Set up Washington Cares Fund payroll tax. Moreover, consulting with a tax professional or accountant may provide further insight into any specific regulations or requirements related to the WA Cares Fund in your region.

I'm including these articles you can use in the future as you go through tasks in QuickBooks: 

• Understand the taxes and forms that QuickBooks payroll submits for you.
• How QuickBooks calculates payroll taxes 
• Troubleshoot paychecks calculated incorrectly

Ensuring the accurate calculation and reporting of the WA Cares Fund is crucial for compliance and employee benefits, so addressing this issue is essential.
