I have QB desktop, wanted to file and pay Wisconsin UI so I printed a Payroll Item Detail as usual, there are no wages under UI. Why would that happen? (we have one employee)

Also - we have enhanced payroll.

Also again - I ran the first payroll of the new year this morning and looked to see that UI was deducted as it should be.

Hey skygal,

 

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community! Could you verify if the employee has already reached the SUI wage base limit? I will be looking forward to your response. See you soon.

I did not know there was a limit. I will check into that. Perhaps he exceeded that. We just have one very part time employee.

 

Thank you!

Hello, skygal.

 

I understand you're unaware of the SUI wage base limits in QuickBooks. The SUI wage base limits affect your paychecks and tax payments based on federal and state policy.

 

You can check this article regarding wage base limits: Understand payroll tax wage bases and limits.

 

Let me know if you have further questions about the Wisconsin UI deduction. The community is always open 24/7 to assist you. Have a great day!

Hello

Were having a similar problem.  Running enhanced payroll.  The company SUI is not showing up on the pay liabilities - custom liability payment report. The report does show the employee SUI deduction. It only effects one employee under the state payroll limit, all other employees are above the limits and don't appear to be affected. I believe this is following a recent QB upgrade.  Hope some can help

Accurate payroll reporting is essential for paying tax liabilities, Sparkyjb. I've got some details about why State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) isn't showing even though employee deductions are visible.

 

Your company SUI contributions will not appear in the Pay Liabilities section if you've already paid these contributions. QuickBooks won't list them as outstanding liabilities.

 

Also, if you haven't set up how often these payments should be made (payment frequencies), the program will not know when to list them as due. Let's examine your tax setup to find out.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the Pay Liabilities section, click Manage Payment Methods at the bottom.
  2. In the QuickBooks Payroll Setup window, click the Schedule payments button.
  3. Choose a Payment (deposit) method and a Payment (deposit) frequency for all your taxes.
  4. Once done, the lists of taxes are updated with their payment method and frequency. If you missed one, highlight and edit that particular tax.
  5. Click Finish to exit from the setup window.

 

You can check out this article below for a complete guide to this process: Set up and pay scheduled or custom (unscheduled) liabilities.

 

Moreover, states commonly send out updated SUI rate notices toward the end of the year or at the beginning of the new year. Ensure you have the new SUI rate by following the steps outlined in this article: Update your State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate in QuickBooks.

 

Finally, we recommend reviewing these articles to assist you in finalizing payroll and ensuring that your data remains accurate within the program:
