QuickBooks Q&A

How can I edit/update the figures found on the filing forms in the payroll tax center?

I can update my bank account but not my paypal account. It update itself every few days but the "update" button doesn't work.

I keep receiving error code 2147221164 Class not registered when trying to run a tax form worksheet in Excel.  We use a manual payroll and the report ran correctly in April 2020.  I called the Desktop help and they told me it was a Payroll issue and the payroll people told me they could not help me since we do not have a payroll subscription. Any ideas how to fix the issue

NEW FOLLOW UP QUESTION: (system will not allow me to reply to the original thread): Are you sure about this?  I think you're not understanding the point of my question. Typically, any paychecks that fall on a national holiday are run the day before.  July 4, 2025 fell on a Friday, but since it was a holiday (Independence Day), the paychecks were paid on THURSDAY July 3 instead. This upcoming year, January 1, 2027 will also fall on a Friday.  Since January 1 is ALSO a national holiday, wouldn't it be pushed back one day to THURSDAY December 31, 2026?  Meaning we end up with 27 paychecks for 2027. I'm asking because I want to know the official (and accurate) stance from Quickbooks on this, so employees can plan accordingly. ========================================= ORIGINAL QUICKBOOKS REPLY (probably incorrect): The paycheck on January 1, 2027, will not automatically move from QuickBooks to Thursday, December 31, 2026, because it will follow on your payroll schedule.

Hi, friends.  I encountered a glitch with entering data into Box 12DD for our W2s this year and wanted to share my accidental fix in case anyone else is having this issue.  First, the screen to edit boxes 12 and 13 was tricky to find this year.  It's at Payroll Taxes > Filings > Resources > W-2s > W-2 Copies B, C, & 2 (employee) > Edit Box 12/13. First of all, when I went to enter our Box 12DD totals per employee, every person we've ever employed appears on the list, not just the employees to receive W2s for last year. (thumbs down)  Then, only about 10 appear on the screen at a time so you must continually click "Load More".  (boo)  Heaven help you if you have hundreds of employees!.  The crux of the issue, though, is that after entering and submitting the Box 12DD data, none of it appeared on our W2s and were blank each time I reentered the Box 12/13 data entry screen.  I tried clearing my cache, using an incognito

As written in title; this error started occurring randomly a few days ago. Payments and other transactions will sync over from the sending application, but invoices are not sending, with this error.

Hello All, I have QBO Payroll core. There are 4 times of paid time off, vacation, pto, sick, and unpaid. Does anyone know if the categories can be renamed, or a new one added? I want to add School Activities and have it show up on the paystub. Apologies for the short and crude post, I've posted this 5 times now and keep getting an error on the posting. Having typed it multiple times, my patients have ran dry. Thanks.

The minimum size of the  Make Deposits is too large. Why can't I make it smaller? All other windows can be resized to be much smaller than the minimum size of the Make Deposits window. This is extremely frustrating.

We are looking to find out the best way to upload information from Quickbooks Online into Bloomerang.

If so, the extra paycheck in 2026 may force some employees to lower their percentage contributions in order to NOT max out their 401k before the last 12/31/26 paycheck.

Hello,I have set up a vendor custom field (type=number), and while I can see it and fill it, it saves the value randomly. So I can save, exit, and return to the vendor 3 times before the value is actually stored in the system. I have tried filling that field both from the vendor view and from the transaction view and I witness the same behavior in both.The behavior is so random. I tested changing a saved value, and ended up losing it altogether again.Has anyone faced this? Any tips?Worth noting that I have played with 2 custom fields in the vendor view and one of them is more consistent than the other, although both are not reliable!

My client has QBO Payroll Premium. We haven't worked with the payroll module before. Intuit says that the e-file is included as is contractors who download their own 1099 but "fees apply" if we want Intuit to print and mail the 1099s to contractors and vendors. I've spent 2 days trying to find out the cost per vendor is. Does anybody know? We'll have around 30 contractors and vendors.

Each of the past three or four years, the W-2s generated by QuickBooks Desktop have added a second state line for the same state (Utah).  One line has the correct gross wage amount and state tax withholding amount.  The second line (actually, showing as the first line in Box 15) shows an amount between and 7 and 10% of each employee's state wages and reports no withholding amount. In past years, as well as this year, I will edit each W-2 (fortunately there are only six) to remove the extra line.It would be great if QuickBooks actually created accurate W-2s. Let me know if you know of a solution. Thanks 

The Change Item Prices feature in Advanced Pricing isn’t working correctly for fractional item prices.For example, I have items priced at $0.01560 per piece. When I use Change Item Prices to increase the price by 10%, QuickBooks changes the price to $0.02 instead of $0.01716.What makes this even stranger is that there’s an option to turn off rounding, and the “Round up to nearest” setting even lets you choose a rounding increment like $0.01. So why is it rounding to the nearest cent when rounding is supposedly disabled especially when QuickBooks clearly supports pricing out to five decimal places (0.00001)?This feels like another poorly thought-out implementation in QuickBooks.

each year I pay a one time lump sum payment into my solo401k and I call quickbooks payroll to have them record it on my W2 but each year they get it wrong and screw it up, I finally talked to someone who sounds like they know what they're talking about and he has me run a new payroll, set hours worked to zero so no additional wages are paid, we calculate out the tax and set it to net zero then record the 401k deductions on the check and submit the payroll. He sent me an article to do it on my own in the future and I thought I finally had this issue resolved. Then... checking my bank account I see quickbooks took out $5,000 as a tax so I called support to see why and they say it was the payroll that I ran to record my 401k contribution.  I'm not sure why there would be additional tax owed as there was no additional wages. This 401k contribution was coming from wages that were already paid and taxes previously in the year, I was simply moving the money to the 401k account and needed

Also, I need to correct the mailed ones. Any help?

I’ve been a client for 4 years and in Sept 2025 I canceled my monthly subscription to self employed app through app and opted for a yearly subscription and haven’t had access since. Apple says it’s a problem on the Intuit end as they show I’m fully paid through Aug 2026. Please help as it’s tax time and I have to input a lot of data for tax season
