Why is there no federal taxes being withheld from my employees check? It is a small 13 hour check and he has multiple people he is claiming, does that make a difference?

Let's get this working for you, sara49.

I can help ensure taxes are calculated accurately on your employees check. QuickBooks will calculate taxes depends on the preferences that you set up. Among these are the following: Taxable wages, Number of allowances/dependents, Pay frequency, and the Filing status.

For more information about tax calculation and rates, check out this article: Payroll tax wage bases and limits.

If the same thing happens considering the factors mentioned above, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Care Support. They can pull up you account and investigate the reason why federal taxes are not being withheld from your employees check.
