The insurable earnings in Box 15B of the ROE are too low or too high in QuickBooks Desktop

If the total insurable earnings in Box 15B of the Record of Employment (ROE) are too low or too high, your payroll items may not be set up correctly.

Verify that the correct payroll items are set up to display earnings on the ROE

1. In the menu bar, click Reports.
2. Select Employees & Payroll, then select Payroll Item Listing.
3. In the Payroll Item Listing screen, look at the ROE Earnings column:
   
   • If Yes appears for the payroll item, QuickBooks Desktop records the earnings as insurable earnings on the ROE.
