941 Tax Deposit Report vs QTR Federal Tax Return

[FirstMOBC]

I notice that my 941 Tax Deposit report is 10.78 less than 941 Employer's QTR Federal Tax Return. Should the rates be enter as 6.20 and 1.450 in the payroll tax table? I notice that 1 employee the withholding for the medicare is 3.91 less than what it should have been and another employee was 1.50 more but that does not make up the 10.78.
The total medicare is short 10.88 and the SS tax was .10 over. Had problem in 2012 where the SS tax where over the amount that should have been withheld. Do not want to run into this problem again. The problem seem to be in the medicare calculation.

Check the IRS Pub 15 for correct percentages for 2013, but the setup for all Federal Taxes can be found here:

it gives an example for 2009, but the directions are the same for 2013, just check Pub 15 for the proper numbers.

Hello
I have a problem with my 941's again. For instant I have an employee that make $75.00 a week which the SS and Medicare is $4.65 and $1.00 each week. So by QTR end the SS is 60.45 and Medicare is 13.00. But if you take the salary by the QTR which is $975.00 and SS is 60.45 and Medicare is 13.00. But the Medicare should be 1.09 each week and 14.14 per QTR. My question is why do normal PC calculate the lower amount doing payroll then on the QTR report the calculation is different and correct? That means the employee and employer amounts are wrong doing the payroll cycle and I need to know how to resolve this issue. I am lost but need some input.
Thank you

It sounds like the tax table for Medicare in the Payroll Module has the "Round tax to nearest whole dollar" checkbox checked. If so, uncheck this box.

Thank you I did. So for employee that did not get enough deduction or too much deduction do I adjust their checks or just pay and adjust at year end.

Since we are still in the middle of the calendar year, recommend that you adjust the next check the employees receive. Don't forget to adjust the employer's share as well.
