What is the most recent version of the payroll tax table, and how do I know if I have it?
Version 11330003 (QuickBooks Desktop 2021 or QuickBooks Desktop 2020) was released on December 31, 2020, and is effective from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021.
To see which version you have, do the following:
- Choose My Payroll Service, then Tax Table Information from the Employees menu in QuickBooks.
- The first three numbers under “You are using tax table version” should read 11330003. If you updated your product earlier this year, you might already have release 113.

How do I get the latest payroll tax tables?
If you have a QuickBooks Payroll subscription, you can get updates through the Internet.

- From the Help menu, choose Update QuickBooks.
- Select the Update Now option from the drop-down menu.
- Choose to Get Updates.
- Exit QuickBooks Desktop when the download completes.

If your TD1 amounts haven't been revised after downloading the new tax table changes, run the following checks:
- Is it before or after the effective date of the tax table? For example, if you downloaded tax table version 113 on December 31, 2020, you won’t see the modified amounts until January 1, 2021, when the tax table becomes effective.
- Have you ever had to manually change the TD1 amounts after downloading the product update containing the latest tax tables after January 1, 2021, or after setting up a new employee? The new tax table will not override any previously adjusted TD1 amounts if you have ever manually changed the TD1 quantities for an employee. In the future, you’ll have to adjust the TD1 numbers manually.
- Is there anybody on your team who has more than the necessary TD1 amounts? Those workers with the required payments for the previous tax tables will have their TD1 costs updated automatically by QuickBooks Desktop.
