State Unemployment doesn’t show on the Tax Liability Report

• TAXABLE_GROSS variable isn’t present in the user-maintained payroll formula
• Incorrect payroll settings
• Adjusted Gross settings for Unemployment not set correctly
• State not selected in Withholding Info tab

TAXABLE_GROSS isn’t present in the user-maintained payroll formula

1. Select File, Payroll Formulas, and then select User-Maintained.
2. Select Formula ID.
3. Verify that the TAXABLE_GROSS variable is present in the formula. If not, proceed to the next step. If so, proceed to the next section.
4. Rewrite the formula so that both the TAXABLE_GROSS and PERCENT variables are defined. The Tax Liability report will calculate the liability on the fly based on these two variables.  In the case of tax calculations that are based on hours worked, this will show the number of hours in the Taxable Gross column on the report, but the calculated liability should be correct.
