<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">Issue 1: State Tax Configuration Errors</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Some users find that state-level taxes are not calculating correctly.

Zoho payroll states currently supported include California, Texas, New York, Florida, and many more.</p>
<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">Issue 2: Direct Deposit Failures</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">If an employee's bank account rejects the deposit, go to Payments, select the failed transaction, and verify routing and account numbers. Re-initiate the payment after correction.</p>
<h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">Issue 3: Login Access Problems</h3>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">For Zoho Payroll login issues, clear your browser cache or try an incognito window.
