How can I remove the UI/PFML and Workers Comp payment checklist for my WA Taxes. I am LLC taxed as S-corp in Washington State, where I am the sole owner and employee?

Good day, Reynald.

The option to remove the UI/PFML and Workers Comp payment from the Payment checklist is unavailable in QuickBooks Online Payroll. Once you set them up in the program and run your paychecks, the system will automatically post these payroll liabilities.

If you prefer not to track them in QuickBooks, you can exempt your Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave and delete the Workers' Comp assigned to your employee. This way, they won't be included in your next paycheck and payroll liabilities.

Here's how to exempt employees from the PFML:

Go to Payroll, then Employees.
Select your employee.
From Tax withholding, select Edit.
In the Tax exemptions section, click WA Paid Family and Medical Leave Premium.
Select Save.

To remove the Workers' Comp, follow these steps:

Go to Payroll, then Employees.
Select your employee.
From Workers' Comp, click Start or Edit.
Go to the Workers' comp class section and delete it.
Select Save.

If these aren't supposedly part of your taxes liabilities, I'd suggest getting in touch with our Payroll Support Team so they can make an adjustments.

Moreover, you can run payroll reports in QuickBooks to view useful info about your business and employees.

If you have any additional concerns about removing the UI/PFML and Workers Comp from the Payment checklist, please add them to this thread. I'm here to help.

Under my payroll tax center,

I have WA Paid Family and Medical Leave Tax & WA Cares Fund that is accruing.
I believe these are amounts that have been paid for prior payrolls before I was able to figure out how to select the exemption.

Is there a way to remove these taxes? It said that it is DUE on January 31, 2024.

Thanks for getting back to the thread, Reynald.

Allow me to help you remove or adjust the tax liabilities in your account. Since we're unable to create adjustments inside QuickBooks and refund the amounts that were paid for prior payroll, I'd suggest getting in touch with our phone support. They can access your account in a secure environment and provide you with the steps to correct your liabilities.

Here's how to connect with them:

Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
Go to Help (?).
Select Contact Us.
Enter your concern, then click Let's talk.
Choose a way to connect with us:
- Start a chat with a support expert.
- Get a callback from the next available expert.
