If QuickBooks isn’t calculating payroll taxes correctly, follow these steps to fix the issue:

1. Update QuickBooks: Ensure you have the latest version of QuickBooks installed. Updates often include fixes for known issues.

2. Verify Payroll Setup: Double-check your payroll settings. Go to Employees > Payroll Settings and make sure all tax information is accurate and up-to-date.

3. Check Tax Table: Ensure your tax tables are current. Go to Employees > Get Payroll Updates and download the latest tax tables if needed.

4. Review Employee Tax Info: Verify that employee tax details (e.g., W-4 information) are correctly entered. Go to Employees > Employee Center, select an employee, and review their tax setup.

5. Recalculate Payroll: Sometimes, recalculating payroll can fix errors. Process a test payroll run to see if the taxes are calculated correctly.

6. Consult QuickBooks Support: If the problem persists, contact QuickBooks support for specialized assistance.
