It's important to ensure that your employees are taxed accordingly, @dstieglitz. With that, let me direct you to the appropriate support that can help you manage and return the tax overpayments to your employees.

If you want to process a tax overpayment refund for your employees, I recommend contact our payroll support team. They specialize in managing over withheld employee-paid taxes, providing you with the necessary steps and assistance to rectify any discrepancies with your payroll.

Before contacting them, I encourage you to run the payroll summary report to give you an overview of your payroll information in QuickBooks. Generating this report will help you identify the wage and tax discrepancies on your employees.

Once done, we can go ahead and contact our payroll support team. To do so, here's how:

1. Open your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company.
2. Go to Help (?).
3. Select a way to connect with us:
4. Assistant: Choose from suggested options or enter your question or topic for assistance. If you require additional guidance, you can Talk to a human.
5. Search : Easily access the QuickBooks Online knowledge base through direct search, or opt to contact us and select your preferred mode of communication:
