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:
- Go to Payroll or Workers.
- Employees.
- Locate the employee and hit Edit underneath the Action column.
- 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.
