W-4

Kphelan2018 · ‎December 13, 2019

I use QB Premier contractor edition. I received the new payroll update but when I go in to update my employees new W-4 I do not see the W-4 drop down menu. Will that be eventually installed after January 2020?

Thanks for performing the steps shared by my colleague, Kphelan2018.

Let me share additional details about the new W-4 for 2020.

Intuit makes sure that we comply with the IRS guidelines. While this option isn't available yet, we'll notify everyone once it's ready. By that time, you'll see a pop-up to update again your payroll tax table.

Here's an article about the latest payroll news and updates.

Hey there, @Kphelan2018.

Glad to have you here in the Community!

I see you've already ran your payroll updates. In order for this option to be available you'll need to run updates on your QuickBooks also.

QuickBooks Updates:

1. Open the Help menu at the top.

2. Click Update QuickBooks Desktop.

3. Check the box beside Reset Update.

Once you have successfully ran the QuickBooks Updates you will need to close your program then launch again.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach back out. Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

Just ran everything you said and the W-4 drop down button is still not there. Any other suggestions?

I have been hesitant to run the updates because I then can't have two different versions of QB opened. Has this been fixed?
