I just updated 2 employees W4s to the 2020 version prior to payroll. The extra withholdings from 2019 W4s were deleted but the new extra withholdings were not removed.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Hi there, @lmoore2.
 
You'll want to edit the W-4 of your employee and remove the extra withholding to step 4 box C (Extra withholding).

 

Here's how.

  1. Navigate to the Payroll menu and select Employee.
  2. Select your employee name.
  3. In the Pay section, click the Pencil icon.
  4. Select the Pencil icon under the What are the Employee's Withholding? section.
  5. Click Got it if prompted.
  6. Delete the amount for the extra withholding.
  7. Click Done.

 

I'd also recommend reaching out to our Payroll Support team to have the tax information updated. They can take a closer look into your account using their tools and have the tax information updated.

 

Here's how:

  1. Here's how:

  2. Click the (?) Help icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Dashboard.
