UI Rate Change Mid Year

The state just changed our UI rate mid May and now I have to generate a payroll liabilities check to reflect the increased rate change for the previous Qtr. I ran the Payroll Detail Review and manually calculated the rate change and see my calculations match what the state says we owe. I then changed the UI rate in the Payroll Item List for all 4 Qtrs. I then tried to make a Manual Liablity Adj for the employees and then went back to see if the Payroll Detail Review shows the change and it does not.  Now I am at a loss.  Not sure where to go from here. I feel I might be close?? Thanks

Hi Brenda.

 

Thank you for reaching out to us here on the Community forum. I'm here to help you with handling your reports and payroll liabilities

 

The system is dependent on the information added into it. If the changes don't post to your reports, let's make sure to customize the report's period and pick the correct posting dates of your adjustments(when it will affect your liability and expense accounts, as well as your bank).

 

I've added these screenshots for your visual references.

 

For more tips about customizing your reports, you can check out this article: Understand reports.

 

On the other hand, here's how you can pay your liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you have any other questions about liability adjustments, please let me know by adding a comment below. Keep safe always!

Ok so you're saying I need to enter June 1 2021 as my Effective date? Then again on the Detail Review to see the impact/changes?

I thought I had to put the end of the 1st Qtr since that is the Qtr we have to make up the tax difference for?  If I go in and change the dates then the program will reflect the changes, and also create the liability check I need in order to pay the state?  Thank you for your help.

Hello, Brenda.

I appreciate your time to reach out to us. I'm here to help and provide some insight into UI tax rate change.

Payroll taxes updated every now and then, so there will be some UI rate changes. To reflect the changes in your payroll, you need to enter the correct dates. Effective dates will base on SUI tax-rates notice that you received from the state. Then you will create a liability check to pay state taxes.

You can also check this link that will help you in getting the latest payroll tax table: Download the latest tax table in QuickBooks Desktop.

For future reference, read through this article to learn more about how to pay liabilities.

Let me know if you have other concerns in managing your taxes. I'm always here to help. Take care!
