Join nowNational Paid Leave was set up according to this help article: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/set-up-payroll/how-to-track-paid-leave-and-sick-ti.... Form 941 is populating correctly, but Form 940 is not. Per the following article on the Form 940, as of now at least, it does not include National Paid Leave: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/annual-employer-forms/how-quickbooks-populates-the.... Is there an ETA for when this will be adjusted? Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Quick note that this isn't "odd behavior"--as noted, it is doing exactly what the article said it would do; it's just that the way the form is populated needs to be updated.
Update--someone else in my office spoke with support and was told that Intuit is aware of the issue and the ETA for the fix is early next week. If that is pushed back and you don't want to continue to wait, you can override the necessary fields.
I am experiencing this same issue. There is no field on the annual Form 940 to put the amount deducted for National Paid Leave EE
Let's fix this so you'll be able to see the field on your annual 940 forms, isaCru.
You'll have to make sure to get the latest payroll tax table updates in QuickBooks Desktop so you'll be able to see the field.
Here's how:
For reference, you can electronically file forms and enroll in the IRS e-file program in QuickBooks Desktop

QuickBooks and payroll subscription have both been updated. To be more specific about the issue, Line 3 is not including National Paid Leave (NPL); instead, NPL is being deducted from fringe benefits on Line 4, making that understated as well. The net effect is that taxable income is correct, but both lines are too low. This is all consistent with the article on how the 940 is populated currently, however it seems like this needs to be updated so that all figures are correct. In addition, for one client, the current formula results in an error, as Line 4 is showing as a negative.
Thanks for following up with up, @Sara Walls.

Finally, someone who comprehends the problem! I spent hours last week trying to explain to QuickBooks that something was wrong in regards to the National Paid Leave and the 940 population. So, basically, to fix the problem I just need to override line 3, adding in the amount we paid under National Paid Leave? (I have already edited my fringe benefits and breakouts on the interview form to be correct so my line 4 should be correct)
Yes! This is what I found as well. If I overwrote and added the amount paid for National Paid Leave to Line 3 on the 940 and overwrote and added the same amount in the "QuickBooks has determined" area of the interview page all balances correctly. Thanks for this post. It lead me down the correct path.
