How can I turn off the Federal Unemployment (940) tax, we don't pay that

Below is the step-by-step process guide on how to manually exempt each of your employees from the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Wwcf. 

 

Currently, the option to directly turn off FUTA in QBO is unavailable. However, you can manually exempt your employees from this tax. By doing so, QuickBooks won't calculate or require payment for FUTA. Follow the steps below to complete this process:

 

1. Select Payroll. Then, choose Employees.

2. Click on your first employee from the list.

3. In the Tax withholdings section, click Edit.

4. From the Tax exemptions section, check the box for FUTA.

5. Click Save.

6. Repeat steps 2–5 for each employee.

 

For more information on this process or if you want to exempt your employee from State Unemployment Insurance (SUI), please refer to this article: Set up FUTA and SUI exempt.

 

With QuickBooks Online Payroll, you have the flexibility to manage your payroll taxes and filings. You can set it up so that QuickBooks automatically pays your taxes and files your forms, or you can handle them electronically.
