Can I stop Employer taxes and contributions on payroll?

You can stop deducting taxes and contributions in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP), osborns. I'll help you set up your employees as exempt to achieve this.

Please know that making your employees tax-exempt will affect your tax calculations and records inside of QBO. To proceed, please follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the Payroll menu and choose Employees.
2. Click the employee and go to Profile.
3. Select Edit from the Tax withholdings field.
4. On the Filing status for both Federal and State withholding, pick Exempt.
5. From the Tax exemptions section on the bottom of the Edit tax withholdings page, tick the Checkbox to exempt them with the following taxes.
6. Double-check the form, and once everything is set, hit Save.
7. Go back to the employee Profile. Then, navigate to the Deductions and contributions field and click Edit.
8. Manually remove the accurate contributions by clicking the Trash icon. Then, confirm by pressing Delete.
9. Hit Done to save and exit.

Furthermore, since you have a tax person handling your taxes, I recommend filling out your tax forms and paying your taxes outside of QuickBooks. Then, manually record the tax payments in the system to mark them as Paid.

Finally, I'll include these articles for future reference about adding prior employee pay history to have accurate year-to-date tax information and closing your payroll-related data for the year in QBOP:
