 Hello, BS1415. 

 

Welcome to the Community. I'd like to turn the tables around and help you fix the tax calculation issue in QuickBooks. 

 

Make sure to have the latest payroll update if you haven't done so already. This will ensure that all updates related to the tax rates are implemented in the program:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Get Payroll Updates.
  2. Check the Download Entire Update box.
  3. Click Download Latest Update.

 

If it still doesn't recognize the new rate, then this might be related to your payroll items. 

 

You'll want to verify and check the rates on the payroll item itself by going to Lists, then select Payroll Item Lists. Find and open the PMFL item and the combined rate has been updated to .6% for 2022.  

 

Now, go back to one of your employee's profiles and go to the Other tab again. Highlight the payroll item and choose the Delete button, then hit OK

 

Open the employee's profile again and reassign the PFML item list, then hit OK. This will refresh the tax rates under that employee. Process and run payroll to check on the calculated amounts.

Should you have any other concerns regarding your payroll taxes and calculations, fill me in with the details and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
