I recognize the importance of processing your payroll seamlessly while using QuickBooks Online. Let's work on this together so we can fix this issue, tara982199.

While I understand that you've completed everything, sometimes small details can slip through the cracks. To ensure a smooth payroll run, let's do a quick second check together. Firstly, I recommend rechecking the Setup Tasks section on your Payroll Overview page to ensure you didn't miss anything. Secondly, check if you've added the required information for your employees. If not, an orange notice beside the employee's name will appear if they lack details.

Once done reviewing, you can run payroll again.

If the same thing happens after reviewing everything, I recommend performing some troubleshooting steps so you can seamlessly do this. You can use your incognito to open your QBO account since this helps prevent any errors caused by cached data or cookies that accumulate over time.

Below are the shortcut keys you can use depending on your browser type:

Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
Microsoft Edge: press Ctrl + Shift + P
Safari: press Command + Shift + N

Also, you can clear your browser's cache and use a supported browser to ensure a seamless experience.

Furthermore, you can visit this article to give a comprehensive list of reports and an overview of what data they display: Run payroll reports.

If you ever need assistance with processing payroll in QBO, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always available to help.

No “WA paid family, medical and leave premium EE” rate has been defined on two –2 –20 24 for whatever employee. you must complete your state and/or employee tax set up before continuing.

what the heck. I have not had a problem in a year doing payroll and now this. All of my tax set up is complete.

Thanks for checking in with us, @hellosos. I'm here to provide with you the troubleshooting steps on how to fix the error message and successfully run your payroll in QuickBooks Online.

All employers within the state of Washington State (with very few exceptions) must report employees’ wages and hours and pay premiums each quarter. In this case, we suggest consulting your accountant to verify if your employee is not subject to Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave insurance premiums.

To add Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave to your employees, you can follow these steps:

Go to Settings ⚙, then Payroll settings.
Next to Washington tax, select Edit ✎ to view your rates.
In the Paid Family and Medical Leave section, click Edit.
From the dropdown menu, choose the new rate and enter an Effective date.
Select Save, then Done.

Taxes will be deducted from your employee's paychecks on the effective date.

If you're still getting the same results, we can run some basic troubleshooting steps. Sometimes, a browser full of cache and temp files can cause unexpected behaviors. With this, let's log in to your QBO account via incognito to isolate the problem.

You can use these shortcut keys below:

Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome)
Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox)
Control + Option + P (Safari)
Ctrl + Shift + P (Microsoft Edge)

If you're able to set it up and run payroll, I'd advise you to go back to your normal browser and clear the cache. Doing in other supported browsers is a surpassing choice too.

Additionally, here are some articles that you can read to help complete year-end tasks and wrap up this year’s payroll:

Feel free to reach out to me again with any questions with regards to running payroll and I would be more than happy to help. Have a great rest of the day.

Same issue! We have to process payroll to hit accounts tomorrow. WTH Quickbooks? I have had PFML setup since 2019, and CARES setup. I also ran payroll in January. This is your issue! Must be fixed. Tried all previous suggested solutions: incognito, clearing chache/cookies/history, checking payroll tax liabilities, etc. YOU MUST REMEDY!

No "WA Paid Family Medical and Leave Premium EE" Rate has been defined on 02/04/2024 for ...... You must complete your state and/or employee tax setup before continuing.

Got mine fixed. This is what you need to do.

Go to settings then payroll settings.

Click the edit "pencil" next to Washington Tax

OK NOW....where is says Paid Family Medical Leave. - For me the rate it shows did not need to be updated however you have to update it anyway....but when i choose the same rate and update the month/year and click save it does NOT save. SO THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. First change the rate to something else (anything other than what it is currently) and hit save. THEN go back and change it back to the rate you want with the updated date and click save again. ----your payroll will now work.

Let me know how it goes.
