Hi,

 

I need to file 2 years of local payroll taxes for the state of PA.

 

The state of Pennsylvania has a quarterly form for these filings apparently.

 

Where in Quickbooks can I obtain all the data needed to complete this form? In PA quarterly tax info for each employee needs to be completed.

 

Thanks!

I can help you with that, Jackcade1461.

 

To obtain the information you need to complete your state quarterly tax forms, you can pull up the Payroll Tax and Wage Summary report. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Under the Payroll section, choose Payroll Tax and Wage Summary.
  3. Set the appropriate reporting date.
  4. Click the Customize icon.
  5. Select the appropriate work location and worker's comp class.
  6. Click Run report.

I'm also adding these articles to help track your payroll transactions in QuickBooks Online: Run payroll reports.

 

Do you have any other questions in mind? Feel free to leave them below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks!

 

Will this report show both a total local tax withheld and an individual breakdown by employee?

 

Thank you!

We're glad to have you back, Jackcade1461.

 

Yes, the Payroll Tax and Wage Summary report can generate the total tax withheld and the total amount by individual employee. Let me guide you how:

 

  1. Open the report by following the steps shared by my colleague.
  2. Click Customize button.
  3. In the Filter section, locate the Name option. Then, include all the employees' names you want.
  4. Add all the details you want to populate on the report.
  5. Click Save to reflect the changes.
  6. Make sure you set the reporting period correctly.

 

You can view the total tax withheld at the bottom part of the report.

 

I've gathered some articles about handling payroll reports in QuickBooks Desktop:
