Why is my payroll saying it can't calculator federal taxes?

Hello elaine5Star,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the Community. Your payroll is an essential part of your business. Rest assured, I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction so you can run your payroll with peace of mind. 

I'd like to start off by troubleshooting this issue to determine if it's a browser-related issue. Clearing cache and cookies is a great way to clean your browser allowing it to work more efficiently. Here's an article that shows you how to do that: How to clear cache and cookies. If this doesn't work, I suggest using a private/incognito window to see if that works instead. In case this issue persists, I encourage you to contact our support team so they can assist you further with this. Here are our contact details: 

• Schedule a Callback or start a Chat: click (?) in the upper right in QuickBooks Online > enter "Contact support" > choose Contact Us > provide a brief summary > select Let's Talk > choose Get a callback or Start a Chat.
• Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
• Support hours are from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET.

I'll be one message away in case you need further assistance.
