Taxes
I appreciate you for joining the thread, Young4. I hear you, and I can see how important it is for you to get everything accurate before your first payroll of the year. I want to jump in on this thread and ensure I provide the information you need and point you in the right direction.
The Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave (WA PFML) rates will automatically update in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and will be available starting January 1, 2025, or within the first week of the month.
I understand that you have already checked the Payroll settings for the new rates; however, I encourage going through the steps again to confirm if the rates are currently available. Please follow these steps:
- Go to the Gear icon, then Payroll settings.
- Next to Washington tax, select the pencil icon to view your rates.
- In the Paid Family and Medical Leave section, select Edit.
- From the dropdown menu, choose the new rate and enter an Effective date.
- Select Save, then Done.
For more info, refer to this guide: Set up and manage Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave.
If the rates aren't available by the end of the first week, please contact our Live Payroll Support Team again to create an investigation ticket for resolution.
- Go to Help (?). Then, select the Search tab.
- In the search box, enter keywords like WA PFML 2025 rates.
- Hit Contact Us.
- Choose Chat with us or Have us call you.
