n V14.x, when you add a new employee and finish entering the personal information, and the payroll information, then click next, you should start seeing the default pay items, such as taxes, Social Security, etc. Are you seeing that?

If after you get that done, you get to the Pay Items window, where you should then be able to click ADD, and up comes the Add Pay Item window listing any other items for income, tax deductions, Other Deductions, and Employer Liability you may have setup. If nothing pops up, perhaps you don't have any other items setup.

That was my thought as well. If you need to add more Payroll items, you can do so on the Maintain Item Descriptions screen found under Accounting > Payroll > Setup.

Our pastor has opted out of social security and medicare so I was setting up the payroll manually.

I am not seeing that.

As I said above, are you certain you have Pay Items setup? Please explain how you are setting up Payroll 'manually'? Did you ever have payroll setup for other employees?

FWIW ... most ministers do not pay Social Security or Medicare as they are considered self-employed and pay SECA tax.

I ended up not using the manual method as my predecessor did. You all made it easier. Thank you for your answers.
