PA Unemployment Company & Employee

We can go to the employee's profile and remove these items there, Bbergrenr2.

If the employee is not subject to the PA Unemployment tax, you can uncheck the SUI in the employee's profile. You can also correct the State Worked in case it is set up incorrectly.

Like this:

1. Click Employees at the top, and then select Employee Center.
2. Double-click the name of the employee.
3. Go to the Payroll Info tab.
4. Click the Taxes tab in the upper right-hand corner, and then click the State tab.
5. In the STATE WORKED section, uncheck the tick-box for SUI.
6. Click OK twice.

However, if the state worked in the employee's profile is correct but the PA Unemployment is still showing on your reports, we can check the Other tab. This shows the additional taxes for the state.

Here's how:

1. Follow steps 1 to 3 above.
2. Go to the Other tab.
3. Scroll down and look for PA taxes and remove them.
4. Click OK twice.

Once done, you'll have to make a negative liability adjustment to zero out the PA taxes on the State Tax Detail report. Here's an article for the detailed steps: Adjust payroll liabilities.

I'll be around if you have more questions. Thanks for dropping by.

PA Unemployment does consist of two parts, employer tax at combined rate individually imposed by the state plus an employee contribution whichnis 1/10 of 1%. Both must be calculated and paid and both will show in tax liability until paid. In addition FUTA is imposed.

There are exemptions for ag workers, employees of nonprofits, certain directors of corporations 

How does the employer part show as a liability? Shouldnt it go to the payroll tax expense when paid?

Hello there, beckyjbiter.

After you create payroll, the affected accounts are payroll expenses and liability accounts. Taxes that are still due stays on the payroll liability account and are moved to the expense accounts after it has been paid.

However, the account post differently depending on the payroll accounting setup. We can review your Payroll Settings to check which account you selected to track employer taxes. 

Let me show you how:

1. Go to the gear icon and select Payroll Settings. 
2. Click the Preferences tab. 
3. Select Accounting Preferences. 
4. Review the employer tax liability and expenses accounts. 
5. If there's a need to change you can do so. Then, click OK.

Need help. 1st  time doing taxes and using QB. I am trying to figure out what the PA UC company stand for. How is it taken out. Does it get included in the overall UC tax that is paid qtr? On QB I cannot pay it electronically. Very confused. Can someone help?

Hello, bobdog.

Thanks for dropping by. I'm here to share some information about the PA UC company tax.

The PA UC company or Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Company stands for employer contributions for income support for eligible workers.

It is taken out by multiplying the taxable gross wage amount with the percentage assigned to you by the state.

If you are paying PA withholding, the PA UC tax is paid separately. In QuickBooks, we can only pay the PA withholding electronically.

For the PA UC tax, we'll want to pay it manually. Check with the state's website and compliance for payment and filing options. 

If you need more help crunching the numbers for your taxes, we can always consult a tax advisor. They can give more insights and information on how to handle the PA UC and other related taxes and obligations. 

I'll add these articles if you have more questions about tax compliance, calculations, and more: 

• Understand how your payroll taxes are calculated
• Access state agency websites for payroll
• Access payroll tax forms and tax payments

I'll also share these articles if you need help checking your current payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop: Run payroll reports.
