Hi there, weinsteinchiro91.
Let me get the help you need with your payroll concern.
The deduction on your employee's paychecks depends on the information on their W4. To verify why the social security taxes are not calculated correctly, I recommend checking the employees W4 information. This is to ensure that the affected employees have the correct tax information, including their filing status, allowances, and any additional withholding amounts.
To do this, here's how:
If there's employee information that you want to modify, you can visit this article for a guide: Edit or change employee info in payroll.
For future reference, here's a great resource to help you close out your current year and prepare for the new year in QuickBooks with your accountant: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Online Payroll.
Keep in touch if you need any more assistance with this, or there's something else I can do for you. I've got your back.
