Hello tlander!
It's great that you added the tax item already. Let me help you in setting it up.
There is still a setting in the employee's profile to let the system know if this employee (officer) is subject to Social Security or not. Follow these steps:
- Go to the Employees menu and select Employee Center.
- Double-click the officer's name and proceed to the Payroll Info tab.
- Click the Taxes button. Under the Federal section, make sure to check the Social Security box.
- Tap OK.
Also, you can run a payroll checkup to verify your setup and see if there's missing information and discrepancies, especially with the payroll item set up.
I added some articles that discuss how to manage your payroll taxes in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll:
