I have one employee, hired in January of this year. His information is complete and pay schedule is correct. Federal taxes ae still not being with held. Any ideas?

Hello, @ekthompsontrucki.

Let's review your employee's settings and check if the payroll taxes are set up correctly.

Here's how:

1. Click on Workers at the left pane, then select Employees.
2. On the Employees tab, find and click the employee's name.
3. Click the Edit employee button under the employee name.
4. Tap on the pencil icon beside What are [employee's name] withholdings?.
5. Verify the tax set up of your employees and correct them.

Also, our system calculates the tax based on these factors:

• Taxable wages
• Number of allowances/dependents
• Pay frequency
• Filing status

Then, these are the possible reasons why federal taxes is not calculating:

• Annualized salary exceeds the salary limit
• The gross wage of the employees are too low

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm always here to help. Have a good day!

I have never had to pay taxes in Kansas, and yet QB keeps withholding $0 each week and expects me to file KS forms for $0 payments. I have hundreds of entries for this and I can't delete them.

Hello there, @Bob12345.

The QuickBooks Online (QBO) system will automatically withhold a tax form when you've entered an employee's residential or work location for a specific state. When there isn't a need for you to file or pay taxes in Kansas, you just need to record the KS forms for zero payments in QBO. With this, you're able to remove the notifications. Here's how:

1. Go to the Taxes menu.
2. Select Payroll Tax.
3. Under the Form column, select Quarterly forms.
4. Select the KS form you want to record.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to record or archive the form. Repeat the same process as needed.

We always make sure to keep you posted about the upcoming taxes due in the Tasks section on your Dashboard. This way, you're able to pay and file your taxes both to the federal and your state on time. You can view all your tax payments and forms through the Taxes menu. You can learn more about this by checking out this article: See Tax Payments And Forms.

Additionally, here's an article that'll further guide you in effectively managing your employees and payroll: Community Help Articles for Payroll. It includes topics about benefits, liabilities, and reports to name a few.

I'm also adding this article about the details on tax forms, withholdings, unemployment, and other tax-related matters in Kansas: Kansas Payroll Tax Compliance.
