ATTN: Intuit Payroll Users



I received the following email this morning regarding a payroll update which is scheduled (not necessarily will, but is scheduled) to go  into effect on March 1, 2012. This payroll update supports the increase to the employees social security rate, taking it from its current 4.2% back to what the rate was for many years; 6.2%. As of this writing, it remains a mystery to all of us whether or not congress will actually increase this rate, but never the less, kudos to Intuit for being proactive.

If you are an Intuit Payroll subscriber, please read and follow the instructions provided below:
