QB regularly downloads and installs payroll updates. In fact it downloaded one before I ran this weeks payroll. The feature was there earlier this year as I already entered them for everyone except the new employee. Now when I go to payroll setup I can't find it. I did finally navigate to a page that said something about occupational codes at the top but there was only options to enter other state work dates and additional taxes but not the codes. So where do I go now to do that?
