I live in Oregon and we use a variety of WC codes (12) and cannot enter them all or change them. I had a work around for 10, but now have 12.  I am at a lost and have not TAX SETUP feature either.

Welcome to QuickBooks Online, sheriaps66.

Thanks for reaching out to us in the Community. I'm here to provide information about using the workers' Compensation code.

You have the option to change compensation codes from your payroll settings. You may follow the steps bow on how to get there:

1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner and choose Payroll settings.
2. Go to the Tax Setup tab.
3. Select the state for Workers Compensation Tax Setup.
4. Choose the Add class/subclass link. 
5. In the Risk Classification class and subclass, hit on Edit to the class that contains the rate to be updated.
6. Select OK once done.

If the option isn't visible on your end, let's access your account in a private window and process it from there. This can help us identify if the issue has something to do with the browser that you're using.

You can open a Private Window in all supported browsers using the corresponding keyboard shortcut below:

• Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+N
• Internet Explorer: Ctrl+Shift+P
• Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+P
• Safari: Command+Shift+N

If it works fine, I suggest clearing your regular browser's cache. The next time you log in to QuickBooks Online, your browser will download fresh copies of your data. Any cache-related issues will be fixed.

I've added this article to help you manage your worker compensation in QuickBooks: Assign a Workers' Comp Class to an employee.

If there's anything else I can do to help, feel free to post here anytime. Thanks and have a lovely day. 

That does not work for all state and I do not know why you all keep putting that out there.  Know your audience!

I actually found a work around for it in the State of Oregon 1 employee can preform several different types of workers compensation class code on any give day.

To Run Payroll against each class and pay them a specific pay rate for that class, this is how you do it.

Payroll>

Employees>

Select an Employee>

Select the Pencil Icon on Pay>

Select the Pencil Icon on How Much Do you Pay>

Add Pay Types

You can now create Multiple pay types and rates per type.

I have attached a screen shoot for visuals.

You can add up to 8 on your own, then you have to call into QBP for any additional ones.  I got Felix from Tennessee and he is AWESOME

Wow, this issue has persisted through the years! I am also having this issue. The same useless steps have been posted over and over again! I can follow these steps:

1. Click on Gear Icon

2. Go to Payroll Settings

The steps after that don't actually exist. As far as taxes go, I can click on either General Tax, Federal Tax, or Oregon Tax. NONE of those options bring up ANYTHING that mentions Worker's Comp. 

@sheriaps66, by using your work around, how are you able to assign the worker's comp rate per $100 of payroll for each of the codes? I looked at the screenshot and the idea makes sense, but I don't see where you can add the worker's comp rate. 

Has anyone else figured this out yet??? 

Hi GenieB,

I appreciate your time to get help setting up your employee’s Worker's Compensation. I know how it feels when you don't see an option in a particular instruction, so I'll be sure to clear this up to manage your expectations.

Currently, the only supported state for a Worker's Compensation setup in QBO Payroll is Washington. This is why you don't have the option on your end. You may try looking for a third-party app instead.

I also understand that this is useful in your payroll processes, so I would recommend giving feedback to our developers. That way, they can consider adding an option for your state in future updates.

I'm just right here if you have other queries about setups in QBO Payroll. Take care always.

When will this be available for other states? It is frustrating that we cannot get accurate labor costs in our books because we cannot set our workers comp rates.

I appreciate you for joining in on this thread, Nadex.

I see the importance of entering a Worker's Compensation rate in QuickBooks Online (QBO). At this time, we're unable to provide a particular timetable for when this will be available in all states. 

However, you can manage workers' compensation insurance automatically with Pay As You Go. It aids in the automation of workers' compensation premiums, ensuring you never miss a deadline. For more details, please see this article: Understand workers’ compensation insurance.

In addition, here's an article that contains a list of payroll reports you may use to obtain information about your employees' earnings, taxes, and deductions.: Run payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Keep me posted if you have any follow-up concerns about setting up Worker's Compensation rate in QBO. I'm always happy to help.
