PAYROLL HELP

[Justine Loker]

We started using Powerchurch in September 2005. We started using the Payroll sometime in October. The problem was that I failed to include the employer Social security and Medicare match on the payroll. I would like to know how to straighten this out. I have closed out the month of December and didn't make any closing entries. : ( On my balance sheet, I have a negative amount on Federal taxes payable and a possitive amount on state taxes payable. Should they both be negative? Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get back on track for the 2006 year. If you don't want to take the time to type I will gladly call you. Thanks.

Probably the best way to go about making these corrections is to reverse out what was originally input and then reinput it with the correct data. This may be a time consuming task if lots of payroll checks have been written, as each check will need to be individually reversed and reinput. Care will need to be taken to use the same check number, date, and amounts as on the original posting when you do the reversals and reinput. Although the accounting month may be closed you can still post to a date within that month in the Payroll module.
