Trying to do 1st quarter 941 2019 rpt. Have used 941 tax deposit report all qtr to make deposits. 941 Column 1, line 5a and 5c correct for employees' taxable income; however, column 2, line 5a and 5b does not reflect the amount deducted according to tax deposit report which makes line 12 and schedule b not agree. Did a spreadsheet and manually calulated fica taxes and power church took out more on some employees than manual calculation showed. Can't figure out why column 2 different. Any help appreciated.

FICA taxes are not calculated on lines 5a thru 5e, these are Social Security & Medicare. 5b is for S.S tip income, I think you meant 5c Medicare. Did you accidentally take some out for a minister or someone who files SECA (Self-employement tax)?

What does the 941 deposit report say when you run it for the quarter?

Sorry Neil. I must have been half asleep. Meant SS and Medicare. i have checked and rechecked the item descriptions and everything seems correct. Don't see anything to suggest taking out anything that should have not been. Like stated earlier, can't understand why the tax deposit report for quarter reflects exactly what is recorded on schedule b, and income for 5a and 5c correct but column 2 less than tax deposit report. It's off by 576.71 for ss and 73.58 for medicare.

That sounds like it could be one person's withholding for SS & Medicare. I'll flag this for one of the techs.

If this is in Version 12, there is a 941 Calculation report that you can run to see how PowerChurch came up with the figures that are showing on the 941 form.

If you aren't able to track it down, give us a call at (800) 486-1800 and a technician will have a look at the item setups and posted transactions history with you.

thank you Zorak. I found the problem. I do use the 941 calculation report and have found it to be very useful.

Could you let us know what you found? It may help us in future if others see this issue.
