Quickbooks desk top Unemployment form wrong

Hello there, @Anne.

In QuickBooks, all states have the same requirements when filing payroll forms. However, to ensure payroll tax compliance with the state payroll tax regulations, you can check the Payroll Tax Compliance to check for the information.

You can also check with your state agency for the filing requirements. For additional information and find details on tax forms, withholdings, unemployment and other tax, e-file and pay information, general state, and agency information, and employer registration, you can also check the article below: Montana Payroll Tax Compliance

Please reach out if there's anything else I can do to help, you can always count on me. Take care.

We are a government entity. We have to file form UI-5G. The one in QuickBooks is UI-5. It shows excess wages on line 2. We don't have excess wages. I need to have UI-5G form. Is there not a form UI-5G in QuickBooks?

I appreciate the quick response, Anne.

Currently, QuickBooks Online doesn't supports UI-5G Montana Quarterly Wage Report for Governmental & Reimbursable Accounts. As a workaround, you'll want to manually file the UI-5G form directly to the Montana State website. 

You can have the printable form handy by visiting this link: http://uid.dli.mt.gov/forms.

Once you're ready to submit the forms, go to this link and you'll be route to your state website. Also, I highly recommend contacting your state for further guidance in filing the form.

Thank you, I can file the report on my own but how do I adjust the amount due in QuickBooks desktop?

Hello @Anne,

Let's review the total wages of your employees first so that we can identify if there a need for an adjustment or not.

1. Go to Reports.
2. Select Employees & Payroll.
3. Click Payroll Summary.
4. Under your employee wages, double-click the amount of state taxes to open the details of your transaction.

From there, multiply your employee's total wage base to the state tax rate. The resulting amount should be equal to amounts reflected on your forms. If it's not, here's how you can create an adjustment:

1. Go to Employees.
2. Select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities.
3. Click Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
4. Under Adjustment, select Employee.
5. Select the name of your employee.
6. On the ITEM NAME column, select your state taxes.
7. Enter the adjustment amount.
8. Click Accounts Affected.
9. Select Affect liability and Expense accounts.
10. Click OK.
