payroll fees

I added myself and another person as employees this year as test/dummy items.   The business is located in one state and the two of us are in a different state.  We never got paid, I was just using the system to try to figure out what payroll costs might be for out of state employees.   I noticed recently I am being charged every month for the two employees plus multistate charges.   Why am I being charged a fee for monthly and state charges when they aren't actually getting paid?

payroll fees

Hello @StuckWithQ Books

 

Payroll settings can be tricky. I’d be happy to help get this sorted out for you. Payroll fees are determined by Active employees as opposed to processed payroll. If there are active employees in multiple states, QuickBooks calculates the fees based on that information. To avoid the employee fee and multistate charges, you’ll want to inactivate those test employees. Here’s how:

  1. Go to Payroll or Workers.
  2. Employees.
  3. Locate the employee and hit Edit underneath the Action column.
  4. Check Make inactive.

 

You’re all set! Let me know if you have any other questions about your payroll settings or anything else. I’m always happy to help.
