We appreciate you posting your concern here in the QuickBooks Community, How. Let me share more information about the unemployment tax.
There are various reasons why the tax may not be calculated correctly. QuickBooks will not calculate the tax if:
- The gross wages of the employee's last payroll are too low.
- Your payroll tax table is outdated. Make sure it's updated.
- The wage limit has been reached.
If the SUI is displaying 0.00 on recent paychecks but is calculating correctly on previous ones it may be because the employee has already reached the SUI wage base limit. To verify this, let's pull up the Payroll Detail Review report and check the taxes withheld for each paycheck. Here's how:
- Go to the Reports menu.
- Scroll down to the Employees & Payroll section.
- Select Payroll Detail Review.
- Set the reporting period to This Calendar Year-to-date.
- Review the Idaho Unemployment Tax amount.
Furthermore, to check if your employee shouldn't be exempt from unemployment tax, follow these steps:
- Go to Employees, and then choose Employee Center.
- Click the employee you want to exempt.
- Head to Payroll Info, and then select Taxes.
- Select the State tab, then check the SUI box and hit OK.
