tax withholding error in new employee

I can share some information about the error you're having with the Tax Withholding section of the employee's profile, @eddiemedicalbenefits.

There's an ongoing issue with employee profile tax withholding showing a yellow exclamation point icon when tax setup is done. Our Product Engineering team is already aware of this and is now working on a fix. 

In the meantime, I suggest contacting our Customer Support Team, so you'll be added to the list of affected users and receive an email notification once we resolve the issue.

Let me know in the Reply section if you need further help with setting up an employee profile. Keep safe, and have a wonderful day!

I'm experiencing the same problem.  I added a new employee and it won't let me save the tax withholding data.  And I can't run payroll without having this filled out.  I've been on several chat sessions and no luck!

We appreciate your time and efforts in trying to complete the employee set-up, goosmand. Let’s run the browser troubleshooting steps to resolve the error. 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) uses the browser’s cache to run faster. However, this can occasionally become corrupted, affecting some functionalities such as buttons not responding or errors when performing specific tasks.

Let's sign in to QBO via incognito mode or private browsing. These browser sessions don't store data and allows the program to run smoothly. Here's how to bring up one: 

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

Next, add your worker (incognito mode) and save the data. If this works, clear the cache of your default browser to improve overall performance. You can also utilize a supported browser to determine if the one you're using is damaged.

If the error persists, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team again for further assistance. One of our specialists will review the case notes from your previous chat and pick up where they left off with the troubleshooting steps.
 

I want to make sure you have all of the tools and resources you need to complete your payroll tasks, including year-end filings. These links contain topics as well as a checklist to help you handle each one:

Keep me posted if you have additional questions about payroll or other product-related concerns. I'm always ready to lend a helping hand, goosmand.

I worked with MANY folks all day to resolve the issue including many of the suggestions you listed.  We tried rebooting, different browsers, different computers, all with no luck!  Apparently, the bug to save Tax Withholdings of a newly added employee is still an issue!  I did get a payroll help person to go in and issue a paycheck in the system for me.  Their change still isn't visible in QuickBooks (but it's been less than 24 hrs).  This problem needs to be addressed so others don't experience what I went through!
