Buy nowQuickbooks has wrongly calculated the Q4 payment for my state unemployment filing. Usually the Q4 amount is much less than the Q1-Q3 amounts, and the state's website calculated my payment should be $16.50. (Q1-Q3 were correctly calculated as $49.50. How can I fix this?
Hi there, @GopaTed.
Ensuring your payroll taxes are accurate is key to staying compliant. Let's break down why this may be happening and how to fix it.
State unemployment insurance (SUI) is calculated based on taxable wages up to the state's wage base limit. Ensure your SUI rate is updated to avoid seeing discrepancies. If wages or employee payments have been recorded mistakenly in QuickBooks Online (QBO), they will result in incorrect state unemployment insurance (SUI) amounts.
Furthermore, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Payroll support to correct your SUI tax amount. They have the right tools to guide you through verifying and resolving the need to update your tax amount.

If you still don't see the option, there may be a browser-related issue. If that's the case, I recommend accessing your QuickBooks Online company in an incognito window. This resolves cache-related problems and helps the Help Menu function correctly. Return to your regular browser to clear its cache if it works smoothly in the private window. Alternatively, you can use other supported browsers.
