Hello there, Hector3.

To resolve data integrity issues within the company file, we'll need to run the Verify and Rebuild data in your QuickBooks Desktop. Ensure to close all existing windows.

To verify the data here's how:

1. Go to the File menu at the very top.
2. Select Utilities on the drop-down menu and select the Verify Data option.

To rebuild the data:

1.  Go to the File menu at the very top.
2.  Select Utilities on the drop-down menu and select the Rebuild Data option.
3. You will receive a warning message to backup your company file, press OK.
4. Click OK when you get the message "Rebuild has completed".

 You can click this article for detailed steps: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.

Once completed, you can print the payroll checks again. For more information check out this article: Print paychecks  in QuickBooks Desktop.

Thanks for joining this conversation, @Rainfree1987. I appreciate you for trying the resolution provided by my peers in this thread.

If you're running payroll using the paper check, let's check to see if your payroll status is active to make sure that your payroll taxes are calculating correctly. Here's how: 

1. Use the latest QuickBooks Desktop release and downloaded the latest tax table release. 
2. Open the Payroll Account Management portal. Then close the page.
3. Reboot your computer.
4. Download the payroll update, again.
5. Reset QuickBooks Desktop Update.

Once done, open the Payroll Account Management portal to check if the payroll service shows Active. You can now re-run the payroll if you're still on the processing stage. Otherwise, delete and recreate the paychecks. 

If you're using the direct deposit in paying your employees, contact our Customer Care Support team.

Have another way to solve this issue?

I have one employee that did not have payroll deductions taken out. How do I fix this

for some reason, qb is not holding taxes out of the paychecks that I am trying to do. My subscription renews in a week but it should still be working at this point. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks for following on this thread @Rainfree1987, @sarah0485, @Cnorris25.

I appreciate you for following the resolution steps provided by my colleagues. I have some information to share why payroll taxes aren’t calculating.

The total annual salary exceeds the salary limit or the gross wages of the employees’ last payroll are too low.

Let’s try performing another one to ensure taxes are deducted on the paycheck. We’ll have to revert the paycheck to refresh the payroll data and for the taxes to calculate.

1. Open your employee's Payroll Information.
2. Right-click the name of your employee/s that’s highlighted in yellow.
   
3. Choose Revert Paycheck.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. They have tools to check why there are no deductions on the paycheck.

Once they’ve identified the cause, our specialists will walk you through the steps to resolve the issue. Here’s how:

1. Tap the Help menu to see the contact details.
2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop Help to open the Have a Question window.
3. Click on the Contact us link to see the Contact Us screen.
4. Hit the Search for something else link and then type contact Payroll Support in the field box.
5. Press Search to display the Start a Message menu.

I’m also adding a link that provides detailed information on why QuickBooks calculates wages and/or payroll taxes incorrectly. It includes instructions on how to fix the problem.

Reach out to me if you have any questions or other concerns. I’ll jump right back in to answer them for you. Have a good one.

I just tried this and it didn't work.

Thanks for joining the conversation and performing the troubleshooting steps suggested above to resolve the issue, @Karen108.

Since the issue persists, it'd be best to contact our Technical Support Team. They can investigate this issue and provide additional troubleshooting steps.

Here's how to reach them:

1. Open QuickBooks.
2. Go to Help, then QuickBooks Desktop Help.
3. Choose Contact Us.
4. Give a brief description of your issue, then hit Continue.
5. Pick how you want to get contacted.

As always, you can get back to me if you have any additional questions. I'm here for you. Have a great day!

Hi!

So taxes are not being deducted at all from the employee paychecks on QuickBooks Desktop. I've already clicked on Update payroll, but no changes are happening when I make the paychecks. Please let me know if there is another solution I could try. 

Thank you. 

Let's get the taxes calculating, Snrogerson. Good work for updating the payroll.

Aside from updating the payroll, please follow katherinejoyceO and Rasa-LilaM steps to fix the issue.

Once done trying the recommended steps, try to create paychecks again. The taxes should be calculating already. 

If taxes are still not calculating, I'd suggest reaching out to our customer care support. A payroll agent will investigate your issue further. Just follow MirriamM steps on how to get in touch with us. 

We're just around if you have other concerns. You're always welcome to post anytime. 

Ive tried to update the payroll taxes and it will not calculate the taxes on my computer but does on the other computers in our office

I appreciate you for updating your payroll tax table, @dmm19.

Let's ensure your computer meets the system requirements of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). This way, the software performs smoothly.

If you've and the issue persists. I recommend checking the additional troubleshooting steps provided by my colleagues Joesem M, katherinejoyceO, and Rasa-LilaM. 

Once done, create a paycheck again to double-check if the issue resolves. 

You can always get back to me if you have other questions. I'll be here to help you anytime. Stay safe.

After updating the payroll tax schedule, QB is not deducting any taxes from our employees paychecks.

Hi there, @LGibas.

I'd be glad to sort things out for you. First off, we can update your payroll tax table. These updates provide the most current and accurate rates and calculations for supported state and federal tax tables, payroll tax forms, and e-file and payment options.

Then we'll have to revert paychecks. When you make changes to an employee's paycheck, click the Save & Close button to save your work. 

1. You can undo the changes by right-clicking the Employee name in the  Enter Payroll Information window.
2. Choose Revert Paycheck.
3. Or you can click Finish later.

I've added this article where you can learn information on the latest payroll updates.

Let me know if you have anything else in mind. I'll be here to help you out. Have a nice day.

Due to a glitch after upgrading to the latest qb version (desktop pro 2020), payroll taxes were not deducted from employees paychecks last pay period.  We caught the error and two employees brought their paychecks back in and were adjusted and reissued.  Our other employee had already deposited his.  

 

For this pay period, will quickbooks automatically calculate and deduct the correct amount in taxes from this individual's check (including what should have been deducted in the prior paycheck), or do I need to adjust this manually?

I have just experienced the same issue. Everything updated and added on previous checks deductions except for the federal withholding.  How do I add it especially so that it shows for Q3 not Q4

There are a few reasons why taxes are deducted incorrectly, wondering2.

Possible reasons are the total annual salary exceeds the salary limit or the employees’ last payroll gross wages are too low. Good job for updating QuickBooks Desktop to its latest release and the payroll tax table. You can try reverting the paycheck and then recreate them.

If the same thing happens, I'd suggest reaching out to our Payroll Care Support. Just follow the steps provided above on how to get in touch with us.

I'm just around if there's anything else that you need help with. Take care!

I have successfully been able to update the tax table to the most recent; however, I had already entered time to be processed in the bi-weekly payroll schedule.  Everyone that hours were entered for are not showing taxes deducted; however, employees who I had not entered time for appear to be calculating correctly.  Is there a way to reset this PRIOR to running payroll?
