I recently discovered that the new hire reporting for my 6 new employees this year was not done by QuickBooks as they have always done that in the past. It seems they made a change when they allowed employees to fill in there own w-4, banking info, personal info etc. there is now a box that shows up as they are filling in their informaiton: "new hire report" with a box to check. Apparently all my employees checked this, not knowing what it meant. When they checked it, it apparently told QuickBooks the report had been file with the State, which it had not. The line and box diisappears once it's checked, so unless you are overseeing what they put in, you won't know they checked or that this filing was not done. QuickBooks Payroll has always filed these and I never received notice it changed. Now I have 6 employees that have not been reported this year and I was told QuickBooks says it's my fault and if there are fee's for late filing I have to pay, they will not. JUST BE AWARE. check to see if your reports have been filed!
