Learn How To Resolve Payroll Update Issues
Many times, the TD1 amount fails to update even when you have installed the Latest QuickBooks payroll tax tables updates. Well, in that case, you need to perform the below-mentioned checks:
- Are the failed amount updates on or after the tax table effective date?
- For instance, the updated amounts won’t be seen if you downloaded tax table version 114 on June 24, 2021. It’s because the tax table becomes effective on July 1, 2021.
- You might come across some issue after you have downloaded the product update containing the new tax table (i.e. after July 1, 2021):
- In the past time or at the time after setting up a new employee, have you ever adjusted the TD1 amounts manually? If yes, then in these circumstances, the new tax table will not override any amounts that are previously adjusted. And therefore, you need to get TD1 amounts updated manually in the future.
- If there are employees that are set up with basic TD1 amounts, QuickBooks Desktop sets the TD1 amounts on its own for the employees who have basic amounts for the previous tax tables.
