I'm just setting up to do payroll in quickbooks. It seems to be working, with a few exceptions. First, the state withholding is not calculated automatically. I entered the employee's info correctly, and Quickbooks seems to know that we are in Connecticut, but it doesn't seem to read the tax table for CT. I'm not signed up for a payroll service, but I did the freebie thing that got me one table download. Maybe this freebie only does the feds?
The second problem is that I can't figure how to print out the information on what was withheld from the check. The paycheck prints out just fine, but the employees want to know how much was taken for social security, taxes, etc. for each check. Is there an easy way to do this? If I go to "edit paycheck" and then click "paycheck detail" I get a window with the information that I want, but there is no way to print it! The report "Employee earnings summary" gives too much information, such as the companies contributions and I don't know how to delete these columns.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
