My assisted payroll is not including fed or state withholding in payroll tax payments. I've re-installed the complete desktop update and restarted my computer and installed the latest complete payroll update - twice. The liability payments are still missing my fed & state income tax liability. It is showing in my payroll liability account but QB won't pay it.
I can help you check what causing the error with your payroll liabilities, @redwingtg1.
It could be that the total annual salary exceeds the salary limit or the gross wages of the employee's last payroll are too low.
To make sure that QuickBooks will calculate payroll taxes correctly, make sure to update your payroll tax table to the latest release.
Here's how:

Thank you, MJD. I have downloaded and installed the Complete Payroll Update - twice. I did this because my payroll keeps getting stuck in an update loop and won't move forward.
I may not have iterated the problem fully. There is no issue with the calculation of taxes. The issue is, when I go to pay the liabilities, QB leaves the income tax withholding off of the liability check that it generates, both federal and state. Yes, I can manually add it or do a custom liability payment, but I'm paying every month for QB to do that for me and so I can pay and file electronically. I can see the tax liability in my COA, but that's where it stays. If I make a custom liability payment, the taxes are there for me to select, no problem. However, for some reason, they're not transferring to the tax e-payment check generated by QB. Btw, I'm an accountant and have been using QB (online, desktop Pro, Premier and Enterprise) for 20 years.
Good day, redwingtg1!

It's good to know that you reinstalled QuickBooks Desktop cause it can fix any company file issues.
You'll want to check and fix any damage on the file by running the verify and rebuild Data tool in QuickBooks Desktop. Follow these steps:
If the same thing happens, I suggest you download, install, and run the QuickBooks File Doctor. This is another that can fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
