Let me help you address the alignment concerns with the NYS-45 Q1 2025 form for your employees in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), lcar. I’ll provide more details below.

To better understand and address the alignment issue you mentioned with the NYS-45 2025, could you please provide more information on what aspects of the employee withholding data are not aligning correctly? This information will help us provide you with a more targeted solution.

After speaking with Intuit Help Desk, this is a known issue and they are working to fix.  However, the interim approach is to use the override function and from Earnings Report enter in the correct tax withholdings.  In my case, the State and City Withholding amounts on individual employee lines were not aligned correctly. Once I entered amounts to the correct employees, the Taxes withheld all tied out and I was able to file the return.

Thanks for your help.
