Hi!
This is my 1st time working through the Texas Workforce Commission's Quarterly Tax on my own. I was only shown this once previously and all was well. However, my extensive notes didn't prepare me for the issues that have presented themselves. Please see the attached PNG of the Wage Report Worksheet.
1.) I don't understand why only 1 employee has taxable wages, when the others do not! Should they? How do I change this?
2.) There is an Employee completely missing from the form! How do I add this employee?
I apologize in advance, I have extensive accounting experience but have never dealt with payroll nor payroll tax before taking this position. I just want to do everything correctly, to the best of my ability and hope to learn as much as possible in the process!!
Thanks in Advance for any/all help provided! Have a Blessed Day!

I understand that you're facing a couple of issues and require assistance in resolving them. Allow me to provide some clarification and guidance, lwinthrop.
Regarding your first question, it's possible that those employees have already reached the wage base limit for Texas Unemployment Insurance ($9,000.00). When a worker's salary reaches the threshold, their taxable amount for that particular tax will show as zero.
To further verify, we can pull up the Payroll Detail Review or Payroll Transaction Detail report for the previous quarters. This report will provide a comprehensive breakdown of each employee's wages and taxes, allowing you to confirm if they have reached the limit. Here's how:
Furthermore, when you notice that an employee is completely missing from the form, it could be that they haven't been set up for Texas State Unemployment Insurance. Let's use the same report mentioned earlier or review their profile to check if they're subject to SUI.
Note that if the employee isn't properly configured for that specific tax, it can result in their exclusion from the worksheet. In this case, we'll have to create a payroll liability adjustment to correct their year-to-date (YTD) or quarter-to-date (QTD) info.
To help stay compliant with the state agencies, I recommend reading these articles:
