Hey there, karenw.
Thanks for letting me know about the steps you performed prior to having issues with the state unemployment’s calculation. Let me help clear things up why this is happening.
This may happen if your payroll’s check date is 2019. I have a few steps you can try to correct your payroll data.
The first thing to do is review the check date of your payroll. You can go to the Transactions tab to view them.
Here’s how:
- Go to Employees at the top menu bar.
- Select Employee Center.
- Choose the Transactions tab.
- Click on the drop-down for Date, and select the correct period.
If they are correct, create a liability adjustment to correct the amount. Before doing so, pull up the Payroll Detail Review report, which provides detailed information about how QuickBooks Desktop calculates tax amounts on your employee's paychecks and year-to-date transactions.
To run the report, please follow these steps:
- Go to Reports at the top menu bar.
- Select Employees & Payroll.
- Choose Payroll Detail Review.
- Select the correct date range.
- Click the Customize button, and go to Filters.
- Under Choose Filter, enter Payroll Item in the search field.
- Click on the Payroll Item drop-down and select MN unemployment.
- Click OK.
Once done, perform a liability adjustment. For the detailed instructions, check out this article: Adjust payroll liabilities.
After following the resolution steps, your payroll records will show the correct amount.
Let me know if you further questions about the process. I'd be glad to lend a helping hand. Wishing you the best.
