Texas Workforce Commission has sent us a letter with our unemployment insurance tax rate for 2023 which is lower than the range Quickbooks is accepting on the setting page in Quickbooks Online Payroll.  How do we fix this issue?

Let me share some insights about changing Unemployment insurance rate, @t_uday.

 

Whenever your SUI rate changes, you need to update it in payroll. This keeps your SUI tax liability accurate. If you're unable to update your unemployment rate yourself in your payroll product, you'll have to send in your tax notice.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Handwrite your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the first page of your tax notice. If you have more than one notice of discrepancy, send each one separately.
  2. Send your notice to us.
  3. Upload your notice in your payroll product.
  • Go to Taxes then select Payroll tax.
  • Select Resources.
  • Select Tax Notice.
  • Follow the on-screen steps to send your notice to us. 

 

Once we get your tax notice, you’ll get a confirmation email with a case number and additional details. 

 

For more details, please see this article: Send in your payroll tax notice.

 

Additionally, I've shared some relevant articles you can use to help handle your employee and payroll transactions in QuickBooks:

Thank you, @Rubielyn_J. I appreciate your prompt response. I tried changing my Texas unemployment insurance rate myself but it is not accepting the rate I have been given by the Texas state.  I then tried to follow your instructions and send the tax notice but when I click on Tax Notice, I get no option to upload and send the tax notice.  I just get some generic help guidance on the right.  Can I send a tax notice now or only during the hours you are open?  Thanks.
