Payroll conversion for IRS Form 8274 Churches

[RebeccaHarris]

We upgraded to v11 just two days ago and I am concerned that the new payroll configuration will not accommodate us as a church electing exemption from Social Security and Medicare as an employer.

I'm thrilled at the prospect of PC looking up the income tax charts for that entry. But since there is no employer liability for SS and Medicare, will I be able to elect NOT to generate a liability through the payroll module? The tax table setup won't allow a 0% entry for employer liability.

I don't want to get too far into the conversion process before I know how to plan for the intended result.

If you don't add employer liability items to any employees, then none will process.
