Hi there, @orear.
I want to make sure the gross wages for each employee calculates correctly.
One of the possible reasons why employees' gross wages don't calculate properly is that the payroll tax table isn't updated. You'll want to ensure to run the latest payroll update to have an accurate calculation of wages and tax amounts. Here's how:
- Go to the Employees menu and select Get Payroll Updates.
- Check the Download Entire Update checkbox.
- Select Download Latest Update.
- You'll see a pop-up when the update is complete.
If you get the same result, you can check out these resources for more troubleshooting steps on what to do if payroll wages aren't calculating properly:
You may also want to run and customize payroll reports in QuickBooks Desktop. This will help you manage payroll taxes and keep track of employee expenses.
Feel free to leave a comment below if you have follow-up questions about the calculation of the gross wage. I'll be standing by to your response.
