I received an updated Tax Rate for RT-6 starting 1/1/23 and want to update it in QB?  Where do I do this? Thanks!

Thanks for posting your concern here in the Community, @Gweed.

 

States send out notices about updated tax rates toward the end of the year or at the beginning of the new year. Since you've got your new State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate, let's work together to update it in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Changing your SUI rate keeps your SUI tax liability accurate. In QBDT Payroll, we'll have to update it manually because your rate isn't part of the normal tax table updates. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to Lists and select Payroll Item List.
  2. Look for [state abbreviation] - Unemployment Company, and double-click it.
  3. Click Next until you reach the page of Company tax rates.
  4. Enter the correct rates for each quarter and click Next, then Finish.

 

If you'll encounter miscalculations in your wages or payroll taxes, this article provides general troubleshooting steps to help you identify the source of the calculation errors: QuickBooks Desktop calculates wages and/or payroll taxes incorrectly.
