Question

MI - UI Wage base increase

I went to run my quarterly MI unemployment report and the balance owed was $0 which I knew was incorrect.  I then noticed a new Payroll items account had been added on 2/20/25 with the title above.  This had a small balance owed.  After spending HOURS on the phone with QB payroll agents (with less than stellar results) and doing my own research I finally got my report printed correctly.  What I found was that QB had installed this account on the recent update and apparently disabled my original UI account.  So what happened was a small amount was going in to the new account and NOTHING into the original account.  So my balances were all messed up.  I contact my state UI agency and asked if I was supposed to be paying this "wage base increase" and was told NO.  So I am very frustrated with QB right now for wasting almost 2 days trying to get this mess sorted out.  I just want others to be aware - check your payroll liability balances!
