Join nowAn employee has completed an update W4. When I start to updated their information in Quickbooks I get the following warning: It is suggested that you complete payroll run for this employee for the year 2019. What does this mean and how do I do it?
Thank you.
Hi there, Czap.
I can share additional information about that warning message.
By default, that the program will prompt you that warning once you choose the Form W-4 2020 and Later option. Take note that this new form is used for those employees hired in 2020 or any employee who makes withholding changes in 2020.
To help ensure compliance, QuickBooks is only reminding you to complete all the payroll of that particular employee for 2019 before choosing this form type. You may click the OK button to close the window and go back to entering your employee's information. Also, you'll no longer be able to revert to Form W-4 2019 and Prior option once you save the updated information.
Lastly, I recommend reading these articles to learn about the new changes on the form and how to enter and print a W-4 for employees:
If I can be of any other help, please don't hesitate to tag my name in your comments and posts. I'd be glad to assist you again.
Hi Czap,
Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about your concern yesterday. Were you able to update the information of your employee? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at anytime.
Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!
