Overriding Tax Tables

[BillD]

I am trying to enter some payrolls for February where the tax tables for federal and state that I have entered are not generating the exact WH amounts that were withheld from the paychecks. I have tried every tax table I can find, all to no avail.
What I want to do is just override the PowerChurch tax table calculation, and enter the amounts that were withheld on the paychecks in question manually.
On the Maintain Employee Pay Items screen, I select say the employee's Federal WH or State WH line, and click Change. On the Change Item screen, there is a note that says "... To enter the deduction amount manually, change the Tax Table to NONE." But, there is no tax table named NONE. Typing NONE in the Item No box is not allowed. And, going to Maintain Tax Tables and trying to create a tax table named NONE is also not allowed.
How do I manually override the PowerChurch automatic withholding calculations, and manually enter deduction amounts?
Thx,
Bill

Bill,

the system is talking about changing the Item Description, not changing something under the 'Maintain Employee Pay Items'.

Say the Federal Withholding is Item number 5. Under Maintain Item Descriptions you would locate item number 5. On that item you would change the Default Tax Table by typing in the word NONE.

The alternative is to create a new Item Description for this one time only, and set it up to use a Default Tax Table of NONE.

Hope this helps.

Hi Neil,
Thanks for the quick answer.
There must be something else wrong with my setup.
I have an item description named FED WH SINGLE. It had a default tax table of FEDERAL SINGLE. When I opened Maintain Employee Pay Items, it had calculated a withholding of $14.80. I went back to Maintain Item Descriptions, and changed the default tax table for the FED WH SINGLE item description to NONE by typing NONE in the box, and saving. Then, I went back to Maintain Employee Pay Items, selected the FED WH SINGLE line and the amount had not changed. I clicked Change, and the Amount box has the same $14.80 in it, and the amount is disabled (grayed out). So, I cannot manually change it.
I tried quitting PowerChurch and starting it back up, in case something had not "taken". That did not help.
Any additional idea here would be greatly appreciated!
Thx,
Bill

OK,

I was doing some additional testing, and what I did to change the amount withheld was this:

1. Select the Maintain Employee Pay Items
2. Highlight the item you want to change
3. Click the <i>Change</i> button.
4. The <i>Change Item</i> dialog appears
5. Overwrote the existing tax table name with NONE
6. This then opens the Amount field for modification, and change the amount.
7. Click on Save.

Hope this helps

Thanks Neil. That was what I needed.
