Hi,

Quickbooks is not generating Form OQ 2023 (Oregon Quarterly Tax Report) correctly. I have one employee showed in report twice, and one other employee was missing. Is this a technical problem?

Good day, @ericaroberts.

 

How QuickBooks generates a State Quarterly Tax report depends on the data you've entered into the program. 

 

Let's verify first if you have an almost similar employee profile in the Employee Center. This can be the reason why it's showing the same employee on the report twice. 

 

Simply go to the Employees menu, then select Employee Center. After that, review the Employees tab and check if you have an employee with almost the same name.

 

Let's also make sure that the missing employee was part of your paychecks in the first quarter. This can be the reason why it's not showing on the report. To verify, we can run the Payroll Summary report and filter its date to the first quarter. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Reports and select Employees & Payroll.
  2. Click Payroll Summary.
  3. Filter the Dates.

 

I'd also recommend running a payroll update every time you do payroll for your employees to ensure that your tax table is updated to the latest release.

I understand Quickbooks generates reports based on the data I enter. I've never had problems before until this year when they changed the format of Form OQ and Form 132 due to Paid Leave Oregon. The OQ - Quarterly Tax Report I created through file forms did not generate correctly (and multiple attempts were made with the same results). However, the "Tax Form Worksheets" I exported to Excel looks good, with no known errors. The fact that the reports are different implies that this is not a data entry problem, but a software malfunction.

 

There are a least a few bugs in my OQ - Quarterly Tax Report:

-The employee who should be listed in line 7 is missing.

-The employees are correctly listed on lines 1-14, i.e. pages 1 and 2, but after page 2, the employee numbers begin to repeat, and pages 3-9 all incorrectly number employees on lines 7-14 (as well as associated boxes a-h).

-The employee who is listed in line 14, is repeated on page 3 as the second line 7.

-The page number for page 1 is shown at the bottom right as Page 1 of 2 (this should read Page 1 of 9), and the page number for page 2 is shown as Page 2 of 2. Pages 3-9 are all numbered as Page 2 of 2.

 

There may be other problems that I have not noticed, but as it is, this report is unusable for correct record keeping for my company. I want QB software engineers/developers to be made aware of these issues so that the entire community can benefit from the correction.

After sitting with QB customer service for an hour, going through their steps, rebuilding my data, and then being assured an update was coming Friday (last week) that would fix this...I have updated payroll each day since. Thursday, Friday, and now today. No fix has come through.


Yes I can hand enter. I have 88 employees. The data Quickbooks is providing is incorrect as it is still doubling employees at the end of one page and the beginning of another. To sort this is taking many hours of staff time.

 

Is there an update coming as I was told? Reba

April 24, 2023

I just spent about 12 hours (over the course of 2 days) on the phone with QB support because I'm having the same exact issue.  Exact issue.  QB told me, however, that there were no other known issues.  After 12 hours of trying to resolve, we did not get the problem fixed and I find this feed that contradicts everything that 3 different people at QB told me.  Very frustrating, to say the least.

Today is 04/24/23. Friday, 04/21/23 I was on the phone for 3 hours with QuickBooks support in regards to the Oregon OQ / 132 not pulling the data correctly from our Payroll Summary information. He was having me override some of the fields but where it mattered to add the totals correctly the over ride feature was greyed out.

QUICKBOOKS, PLEASE GET THIS SORTED OUT SO WE CAN MOVE ON. This is SO frustrating. I have multiple clients to run quarterly reports for and time is running out! I again did a complete update, payroll update, restart, and nothing new is coming in. This is the second blunder this year. The first in Janaury 2023 for the new Oregon Paid Leave update in January was not right. I was suppose to receive a call back at 11:00 AM this morning and no one called. We all would appreciate the Payroll Update coming through tomorrow!

I am have the EXACT SAME ISSUE with Form 132!!  Duplicated an employee, omitted an employee, totals do not match Form OQ.  If those reports are generated form our data, how are the totals different?  How is an employee listed twice with the exact same amounts and one is not listed? Why does the OQ totals match my report but the 132 list and totals not match the exact same report?  Why are so many people reporting the exact same problem, one I would guess you haven't heard before?  I have used QB Enterprise for 19 years, I know how to run tax forms!  When the issue was discovered, and prior to turning to the internet to look for similar problems, I ran both payroll and program updates multiple times two days in a row.  I verified my data integrity.  I backed up.  I rebuilt my data.  And finally out of desperation with only one day left to file, I turned to a search engine and found, word for word, the same problem. It is obvious that the users who have left comments are experienced and know what they are talking about!  Please listen and quickly fix this issue!

Was there any solution for this? I am still running into the same problem on my Q2 OQ Report...

July 11, 2023

Same here! I didn't notice any issues in Q1, but now I have a missing employee and a duplicate employee on Form 132 for Q2. Is there a known fix?

I have had the same issue with a duplicate employee and the whole worked hours not matching on half of my employee's QB reports. After two days on the phone with support, I finally got someone to look at our company file to see what was happening. They opened an investigation into this issue. INV-90255 is the investigation number that might help you when calling in. My problem is still not fixed but tier 3 support will be working with the product developers to hopefully have this resolved by Q3.

I am sharing CAUTIOUSLY but optimistically.... As I have previously posted my shared experience with the 1Qtr OQ reports, I have been closely monitoring this issue and saw that as recently as yesterday it was still unresolved.  Today, after running two payroll updates, one indicating that a new update had been included on the Oregon Form OQ Tax Report, I ran my 2Qtr OQ/132 and everything appears to be correct. All employees are listed and only once, all amounts agree and match my anticipated liability payments.  I make no promises but if you haven't attempted it today, it might be worth running the payroll updates a couple of times and then try creating your 2Qtr OQ and 132.  (Curiously enough, I also tried re-running my 1Qtr OQ/132 reports to see if they now ran correctly and those same errors still existed!)

July 28, 2023

I am getting the same issues. I didnt realize that the Q4 report from 2022 was also wrong. I am still working with the state to fix those issues.
