Intuit QuickBooks will change its automated payroll tax withdrawals in the new year. Beginning January 1, 2025, QuickBooks will withdraw payroll taxes when payroll is processed and when taxes owed increase, a difference from its current process of withdrawing payroll taxes when they’re due.
You or a company admin must confirm if you wish to continue using automated tax payments and filings by December 31, 2024. If you do not respond by the end of this year, automated taxes will be turned off on January 1.
To continue using automated taxes:
- Go to Payroll Overview
- Select “Keep using automated taxes”
To stop using automated taxes:
- Go to Payroll Settings
- Find Taxes and Forms
- Turn off “Automate taxes and forms”
If you opt out of automated taxes, you must manually pay and file payroll taxes by the deadline. Even if you stop automated taxes, you can continue to use Auto Payroll.
If you continue to use automated taxes, payroll taxes will automatically be withdrawn from your bank account on file when payroll is processed, a past payroll is adjusted, a tax rate is updated, or when there is an increase in taxes owed. You can see the amount of payroll taxes withdrawn on your Auto Payroll preview email. You will be emailed a receipt once payroll is processed. The amount will also be posted in the Payroll Tax Center.
You can learn more about the update on Intuit QuickBooks website.
