Payroll Income Tax Withholding Credit & Reporting
Hi Community!
I am certain that we are not alone in the following - we receive tax credits from our state as a Research Tax Credit Withholding Benefit. We have been filing outside of QuickBooks as we use the credit and within QuickBooks when the credit is exhausted. Given the new changes to QuickBooks Payroll, we don't know how to navigate the proper filing of the Quarterly Tax Withholding given the changes proposed. Below are the instructions from our state regarding the proper handling of the Tax Credit.
What you need to know:
• You may begin to use this credit against your withholding tax liability beginning March 2026 starting
with your monthly payment that is due on 15-April-2026.
When you file your Georgia withholding tax return, you need to:
1. List the amount withheld for all three months in the reporting quarter
2. Select the “Adjustment to tax” link
3. Select “112 - Research Tax Credit” as the credit type
4. Select the month the adjustment should be applied to
5. Enter the credit amount to be used
Can anyone assist with how to navigate setting this up in QuickBooks?
Thanks!!
