When will Quickbooks update Rhode Island employer tax rates for 2025? The state-wide rate for Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI), withheld by employer via payroll, has changed from 1.2% to 1.3% statewide for 2025. Why is this is this not updated yet?

So when I inevitably have to run payroll for January and the outdated rate is still in Quickbooks, the software will withhold the wrong amount of money. Then, later, when Quickbooks files and pays this to the state of Rhode Island, I will be underpaying and then will potentially face penalties for underpaying the required rate. Does Quickbooks plan to pay these fees on my behalf? Will Quickbooks handle the extra hassle and headache of filing amendments or paying overdue taxes on my behalf because they were incorrectly withheld by Quickbooks' software itself?

I doubt it. And this is not the first example of similar nonsense, for a platform that is meant to serve all types of businesses, I'm beyond frustrated and planning to switch to another product this year. Thanks for nothing.

Hey Quickbooks - any updates on this? You say:

It's now February. I've run January payroll, where the system continued to withhold the old incorrect 1.2%. I'm now officially under-withholding the required tax from my Rhode Island employee's paycheck, which means my company will become liable for both the underpaid tax and additional fees, come time for quarterly and annual filing.... and yet I have ZERO recourse for updating this in Quickbooks to begin withholding the correct new rate.

These changes were published IN DECEMBER. When can I expect to see this tax rate set to the correct 2025 rate?
