If Florida reemployment tax rate is .0079 what do I enter in payrole system

Hi there, gandyssfd.

The tax rate that you'd enter on your QuickBooks Online Payroll account is the rate on the notice that you received from your state. You can contact your state agency or tax advisor for recommendations.

For guidelines on how to enter it into the system, here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon at the top.
2. Select Payroll settings.
3. Choose State taxes.
4. Enter the Florida Reemployment tax rate. 
5. Click OK once done. 

For more information about this, see the below articles:

• Update your State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate in QuickBooks or Intuit Payroll
• Florida Payroll Tax Compliance

For additional reference, you may find the below links helpful:

• Pay and file payroll taxes online
• Make payroll tax payments
• Manually enter payroll paychecks in QuickBooks Online

Please don’t hesitate to reach back out if you need have other questions concerning your QuickBooks Online account. I’d be happy to assist.

Different states have different rules and rates for UI taxes. (There also are options to develop your own reporting software or to upload files; You can get more information about other small business tax issues in other articles here on Nolo.

The Department of Revenue will also mail you a revised Reemployment Tax Rate Notice (Form RT-20) that reflects your new 2021 rate.

the rate is enter in quickbooks as a percentage so the answer to your questions is

0.79 is what you enter in the payroll system under the FL state tax rate

How do I turn off the automatic rounding of my amount due?  I file thru the state and it is always off because QB rounds up to the nearest nickel.  Thanks
