Question

WA PFML 2026 - Calculating Incorrectly & Unable to Fix

We are using QuickBooks Desktop Assisted Payroll, and I need to report an issue with Washington PFML calculations for 2026.

The state rate is clearly published:

However, QuickBooks is calculating incorrect employee deductions.

Important context:

Because we are on Assisted Payroll, the PFML payroll item is locked and cannot be edited
We cannot manually adjust the rate or calculation
The system does not appear to properly account for employers under 50 employees (no employer portion required)

I have spent hours with support with no resolution.

Impact:

As Assisted Payroll users, we rely on Intuit to maintain correct tax calculations, but currently we have no ability to fix this ourselves.

How do I fix this?
