New Qualified Overtime Compensation Tracking Not Working

I am using QB Enterprise Solutions Contractor 24.0 desktop.  Last week QB prompted me to use the set up wizard for qualified overtime income tracking which I did.  We pay qualified overtime and I chose "yes" to track.  This is the 2nd week that I have created paychecks in 2026 with qualified overtime, QB is not tracking.  I have had to add it manually, a lot of trouble for how much money we pay for enhanced payroll.  I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with QB help (also an hour wait for a live person).  No solution yet.

I noticed last week that QOT was no longer tracking in the "Company Summary" portion of the Review Paycheck screen in my Accountant Desktop Plus version of Quickbooks.  I was able to adjust this for most of my clients, but I have come across one today that the YTD for QOT has reset to zero and this week's QOT is not being generated there.  YTD is not an editable box.  Is anyone else having this issue?

The company portion does not display a calculation because this item acts as a non-calculating placeholder used only for reporting, not for funding a liability. Since it is not an active, company-funded tax, the YTD field in the Company Summary is not editable and may appear as zero.

 

As long as the dollar amount appears in the Employee Summary section of the paycheck detail, the system is correctly capturing the necessary data for year-end tax reporting.
