In WA state we have Unemployment Insurance Tax Employer (Employment Security) at a rate of .81% and WA Employment Administration Fund Tax ER Liability at a rate of .03% setup on the Tax rates tab. Because both these amounts are remitted to the same government division it would make sense to have both amounts accrue to the same liability account. However, the way that Payroll 100 is set up, the Unemployment Insurance goes to the G/L account set up on the main tab for Employee & Employer Unemployment and the Washington Employment Administration Fund Tax ER Liability goes to the G/L account set up for "Employee/Employer Other" on the Main tab. And there is no way to change this.
We also have a new tax in WA called Paid Family and Medical Leave at .4% set up on the Tax Rates tab and the amounts calculated for this on our payroll are allocated to the G/L account set up for "Employer Other" on the Main tab as well.
This causes a problem when we go to remit the taxes at the end of the quarter because the amount in the liability account for Unemployment Insurance is short by .03% and the amount in the liability account for the Paid Family and Medical Leave is over by .03%.
Please add the option to designate which account the Tax rates are allocated instead of hardcoding them to one specific Tax area.

This is also true for Worker's comp in Washington. There is an an employer and an employee portion. There is a spot to specify workman's comp employer g/l account but nothing for the employee portion so it get's mixed with all the employee portions of the other taxes.
