Question

Payroll taxes are not calculating

In the item list have set up the payroll taxes and their percentages in my Quickbooks 2020. However, when I go into the pay employee section and enter the gross pay, I am having to figure the taxes manually because Quickbooks is not calculating them for me. I assume I have not done something correctly that will let it figure these for me. I have searched as much I can trying to figure this out to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Lighthouse63,

 

The QuickBooks Desktop Payroll add-on makes running payroll easy by helping track hours and calculate taxes. I'd be happy to help you get this resolved so you can get back to business.

 

When you turn on your payroll for the first time a lot of taxes are already set up such as CPP, EI and Federal taxes. In order for these taxes to calculate correctly you'll first need to set up your employees taxes and TD1 amounts. In order to set these up you can follow these steps: Employees>Employee Centre>Double click the employee>Payroll Info>Taxes and TD1. Once that is set up for your employees the taxes will be calculated automatically. You can also follow the steps in this article to help with setting up your payroll in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Hope this helped!
