Uncheck FUTA box for Nonprofit

Hi there, @JulianotJulie. I appreciate you posting here in the Community.

Can you tell me more about your concern? Are you trying to set up FUTA exemptions for nonprofits? or do you mean anything else? This way, I can provide you with the most accurate solution or answer to your query.  

In the meantime, you may want to read about how to set up federal and state unemployment insurance taxes for churches and nonprofits.

Seriously?

The OP wrote. "Uncheck FUTA box for Nonprofit... When you uncheck the subject to FUTA box in employee record, ...if you then run payroll checkup you are UNABLE to continue because a red X shows next to the employee."

That seems perfectly clear. Did you read the OP's question?

1.  When you Edit Employee and uncheck box under taxes for FUTA, QB's does not calculate the FUTA tax.

see attachment with box unchecked.

2.  When you then go to Employees, My Payroll Service, Run Payroll Checkup, you will notice an ERROR message stating information missing.

I will follow this message with the 2nd attachment, limit one per message.

How to get rid of error message in Payroll Checkup?

Thank you very, very much.

Hi JulianotJulie,

Thank you for the screenshots, and you actually explained it well. Let me continue to help.

You'll want to check your company settings to see if you choose the correct form for a non-profit organization. If not, you can change it and run the checkup again. However, please don't make changes without creating a backup file first.

1. Click the Company menu and choose My Company.
2. Click the pencil icon in the COMPANY INFORMATION section.
3. Go to Report Information.
4. Check the Income Tax Fom Used. You can ask an accountant what's the correct form for your business.
5. Click OK to exit from the section.

If you have the correct form but still cannot go through with your payroll setup, please contact our QB Desktop Support to check this further using more tools.

Let me know if you have other questions in mind.
