    @nwallin  Should be an option in the same section as the employee's individual tax settings, both federal and state unemployment.

     

    You'll need to update each employee, same as if they wanted to change from Married to Single or otherwise updated their W-4.

    I'll guide you through turning off the unemployment tax option, nwallin.

     

    Please note that turning off unemployment tax settings should be done with a clear understanding of your state's regulations to ensure compliance and avoid potential penalties.

     

    Here's how to do it:

     

    1. Go to the Payroll, then select Employees.
    2. Click the name of the employee.
    3. Proceed to the Tax withholdings section and click the Edit.
    4. Scroll-down to the Tax exemptions section. Then, uncheck the unemployment tax. 
    5. Click Save.
