I am working on bringing our payroll in house. It's been a minute since I have done payroll, and cannot for the life of me remember what figures on the Payroll Summary I add together to come up with the final SDI & PIT tax figures. Can anyone help?

Good day, @michelle209.

 

The Payroll Summary report provides key totals for income and deductions, but it doesn't show how figures like State Disability Insurance (SDI) and Personal Income Tax (PIT) are calculated.

 

Please know that you don't have to manually add anything to determine the final tax figures, as QuickBooks has already performed these calculations for you. To learn more about how QuickBooks calculates payroll taxes, you can check this article: Understand how your payroll taxes are calculated.

 

To see a detailed breakdown of your employees' taxable amount, you can generate the Payroll tax and wage summary report instead of the Payroll Summary report. This report shows wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions for a selected period. It's helpful for reviewing payroll details and ensuring accurate tax reporting.
