I understand the importance of being able to set your Unemployment Insurance (UI) rate, SSHY. I have an explanation as to why this is happening on your end.
When it comes to UI rate, QuickBooks Online (QBO) relies on the updated rate of your state. They will send the updated UI rate at the beginning or the end of the year. Thus, we'll need to wait for the said update. You can also clarify with your state as to what rate you'll be using for accuracy.
