Employee allowances fed/state are not printing on paychecks?

Good day, @atennis56. 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. 

In QuickBooks, printing paycheck allowances are currently unavailable. These are the only available in Payroll Printing.

RE: In QuickBooks, printing paycheck allowances are currently unavailable. These are the only available in Payroll Printing. 

This statement makes no sense.  1) There isn't a thing called "Payroll Printing" in QB. 2) Your screenshot is of the very preferences that impact printing a paycheck.

And, QuickBooks is supposed to print W-4 information on the paychecks.  It has always worked this way.  There is no preference to turn it on or off because it is supposed to always be on.  Since it is required.

I hope status, allowances fed/state will show when printing paychecks like before. I really need this so our employees can see. Need your assistance.

Welcome to the thread, @BFaccounting.

I want to ensure were on the same page. If you're referring to the number of allowances to show on the paychecks. Then, this will only show up on the newly created paycheck.

If you're trying to print the old or already printed paychecks, then the details would no longer show up from there.

I am printing a new check and it still is not showing up like it used to. No withholding allowances information at all.

Hi linamarie78. I appreciate you reaching out to the community. I recommend you look into our article on troubleshooting printing issues in QuickBooks. It will go over all the steps you need to troubleshoot the issue with your checks. Let me know if there are any other questions or concerns. 

Employee allowances are no longer printing on paycheck stub.  This used to work in 2019.  No longer working in 2020.

Hello there, @djbindust.

Currently, this is working as designed based on the changes to W4. The new release version of QuickBooks, the allowances information was already removed and will no longer show on paystubs when print.

For other related tasks, you can also refer to this helpful guide: QuickBooks Desktop Help Articles.

So is there a report or something so we can prove this in case of an audit or questions by employee? I had an issue come up with an employee for 2019 and thank God they still printed with this information except for the last pay run of the year. 

Thanks for joining in, @linamarie78.

As mentioned by my colleagues above, allowances were removed due to the redesigned form W4. Allowances that were tied to a personal exemption amount are no longer allowed by law. 

You can see the details outlined in What's changing with the Federal W4?

Additionally, you can see more information about the changes from the IRS directly.

Let me know if you have further questions or concerns. You can always reach out to us here in the Community anytime you need assistance. Take care! 

Our employees want to see their # of exemptions on their paystubs.  They change periodically and it would be beneficial to show them in order to make sure it is correct in the employee's eyes.  Please let us know when this becomes available.

Good day, @KRA.

Having the option to see the number of exemptions on your employee's pay stub is great to add to our product. I can see how this option would be beneficial for you and your employees. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.
