    Welcome to the Community. Let me provide you with some information regarding when you can update your Paid Family and Medical Leave(PMFL).

     

    You can change or update your PMFL within your Payroll settings. However, if you're unable to find or edit the New rate option, this indicates that you can update it at the beginning of the year since this option usually shows in that period. 

     

    Here's how: 

     

    1. Go to Gear icon ⚙, then choose Payroll Settings.
    2. Next to Washington tax, click Edit ✎.
    3. In the Paid Family and Medical Leave section, select Edit.
    4. From the dropdown menu, you can choose the new rate and enter an Effective date.
    5. Select OK, then Done.

     

    Taxes will be deducted from your employee's paychecks on the effective date.

     

    To know more about PMFL, you can view this guide: Set up Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave. 

     

    In addition, you can also change your accounting preferences in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

    I am wondering if this year 2024 PFML rates will be ready before beginning of 2024 vs 2023 rates were ready at the beginning of 2023 after the first payrolls had been done. I prefer to have it before first payroll for the year to be processed vs.have payroll correction later, taking in consideration that payroll corrections for this tax are not allowed under WA state regulations.

      Hello there, ML55. Let me provide updates about the WA PFML 2024 updated rates in QuickBooks.

       

      I want to inform you that our backend team has provided an update on the rates that are not yet showing in our system for your WA PFML. The rates are hardcoded into the payroll application, but we won't see the 2024 rates until we roll into the new year. I know you wanted to update it already, but let's just wait for the first week of January 2024.

       

      Then, you may follow the steps shared by my colleague above on how to edit the rates in your QBO account. For more details about tracking paid family and medical leave in Washington, see this link: Set up Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave.

      Whenever I click on the Edit button it just hangs. I cannot get into it to change it for the life of me.

      I want to ensure you can edit and update your Paid Family and Medical Leave(PMFL) rate in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @jmdesigns. 

       

      Occasionally, too much cache buildup in a browser can cause unexpected behavior with the product. This might be the reason why the Edit button acts weirdly. To clean this up, open your QBO in a private or incognito window so the software runs smoothly and effectively. Depending on the browser you're using, you can use these keyboard shortcuts:

       

      • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P
      • Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + N
      • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
      • Safari: Command + Shift + N

       

      Once signed in, click the Edit button again. If it works, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. You can also use other supported web engines as alternatives.

       

      Once everything's fine, continue to edit the sales tax rate in your QBO account.

      Funny you say that, Nicole! I dread having to contact QB support, so I troubleshoot all possible options. Clearing the cache and cookies was the first step I took, and it was not successful in resolving the issue. This is a repeated QB issue that needs to be addressed.
