Greetings, @Helen-h-mathias.
Let's get this problem sorted out.
Are you referring to the year-to-date totals on paychecks in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account? If you can also please provide me with the information that @BigRedConsulting asked you for in the post above, I'll be able to determine a solution for your business.
In the meantime, you can check out this link for year-to-date information that can be helpful for you: QuickBooks Desktop calculates wages and/or payroll taxes incorrectly.
I want to make sure that you're able to get back to running your business. Hit the Reply button at the bottom of this post when you've gathered some additional insight. I'll be waiting for your response.
