I am used to using Quickbooks to do payroll. How do I go about calculating my payroll taxes each month? So far Pay window does not appear to be withholding
federal income tax. Also California ETT and SUI do not appear to be withheld from my employee's paycheck. Please walk me through this process!!!
Thanks Jack

First on the Training tax and SUTA you need to enter your tax rates per the instructions in this Frequently Asked Question:

Read that complete down to the bottom of the page as we have an example California setup screen shown.

On not calculating the Federal Income Tax, my guess is one of several items. You may have set up the employee with the wrong pay period. A person who is weekly for example if not set to 52 pay periods does not earn enough to have taxes deducted say if you set them up as 26 pay periods. Also if they do not earn enough, they would not break the threshold. Another is the number of exemptions that you entered, a person with 4, 6 or more has to earn a lot before FIT kicks in.
