![]() ![]() And there is nothing about taking an extra amount that will cause any sort of issues with the IRS or with paying or filing taxes. There's nothing wrong with that, though, if the Employee's W-4 asked for have an extra $2 taken out. I think from the employee set up for Federal Withholding, as previously mentioned. RE: Where the -2.00 is coming from is beyond me and apparently beyond anyone at QB. QuickBooks will suggest amounts and will pre-fill forms, all based on the way you've set up employees and the numbers on the paychecks (which you can override, either to make them correct or more often to accidentally make them wrong or mask a set up issue.) But, in the end if your setup is wrong, then the results will be wrong. In any case, as noted you are in charge of tax filings and payments, whether on paper or done electronically. What's the DOR? How is it related to Federal Withholding? Without specifics and understanding the case in detail, there's really no way for anyone here to determine what happened. ![]() Either way, the taxes paid were not what was calculated in Q1. RE: They either calculated incorrectly or sent the wrong amount to the DOR. When you do, you are in charge of the process, and in charge of making sure the numbers are correct. However, it neither files or pays your taxes for you automatically. With Enhanced Payroll, QuickBooks calculates the taxes on paychecks based on the way you have set up the employee - and it also lets you overwrite the numbers if you don't like them. RE: With enhanced payroll, QB does all the taxes. ![]() If the amounts were overridden, then that is the source of the issue. It will show you by employee and then by tax, and then by paycheck, the taxed wages, the actual tax withheld, the amount QuickBooks thinks is the correct amount, the difference between the two, and whether or not each tax amount was overridden by a user. You can see if this has happened for the tax(es) in question by running the Payroll Detail Review report. In your case, it means that the YTD tax is off by $2.00, when comparing the taxed wages for the tax to the tax amounts, cumulatively, YTD. I've never seen or heard of a "Federal column", but I'll assume you mean either Social Security or Medicare (or a different Federal tax that is a percentage tax)? If so, then this is almost always caused because a user has overwritten the tax amounts on prior paychecks, forcing the tax to be out of balance YTD. When I start a payroll check there is -2.00 in the federal column before I enter any hours. Q2 taxes collected by QB Desktop were incorrect. RE: Q1 taxes collected by QB Desktop were incorrect. ![]()
