How do I get the Payroll Update?It's important that you receive everything in the Payroll Update to make sure that you are in compliance with legislation that affects your payroll. Just follow these three simple steps:
  1. Check to see if you have Automatic Updates turned on.
    --     Choose Help > Update QuickBooks.-- On the Options tab, you will see either Yes or No selected for Automatic Update.

  2. If Yes is selected, you should receive all Payroll Updates automatically when they are released the next time you are connected to the internet.

    You can verify that you received Payroll Update 21202 from within QuickBooks. Go to Employees > Get Payroll Updates. You should see a message that says,"You are using tax table version 21202."

  3. If No is selected for Automatic Update, you need to download the update manually. Click here for instructions.

Social Security Tax Rate Extension for Employees
On December 23, 2011, President Obama signed into law the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (H.R. 3765). The Act includes a two-month extension of the reduced employee Social Security tax rate, maintaining the employee rate at 4.2% through February 29, 2012.
Intuit QuickBooks Payroll is supporting this change in Payroll Update 21202. For more information, click here.
Important E-File Scheduling Information
E-filing through QuickBooks for Forms 940, 941, and 944 will be available beginning on January 4, 2012. The Social Security Administration is now accepting 2011 W-2s. However, due to high seasonal volume, the SSA may take 6 weeks or more to process your submission and provide updated status information. Do not resend your forms unless the SSA asks you to do so.

Thanks Everyone for Being so Good about your taxes! It's almost time!
