What's included in the current payroll tax table update

For the January 2025 tax table update, there are multiple TD1 changes from the July 2024 payroll tax table update.

Troubleshoot payroll update issues

Perform the following checks if your TD1 amounts are not updated after installing the latest tax table updates.

Is it on or after the tax table effective date?

If you downloaded tax table version 12034003 on or after December 19, 2024, you will not see the updated amounts until the tax table becomes effective January 1, 2025.

After January 1, 2025, once you have downloaded the product update containing the new tax tables:

• Have you had to manually adjust the TD1 amounts at any time in the past or after setting up a new employee?
  
  • If you have ever manually updated the TD1 amounts for an employee, the new tax table will not override any previously adjusted amounts. You will need to manually update the TD1 amounts going forward.
    
• Are any of your employees set up over the basic TD1 amounts?
  
  • QuickBooks Desktop will automatically update TD1 amounts only for those employees with the basic amounts for the previous tax tables.
