Payroll Tax tables not working

Post by Carol7021 »

The payroll tax tables are not calculating correctly with the employee's hourly wages. We have never had this problem before this week, we have use the tables for years without any problems. Most of the taxes for the employees are either a 0 amount or the calculations are off. We printed last week's checks and they were fine until today now something is wrong. Is this an update problem or something else has happened? Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks, Carol

Have the tax tables changed since Payroll checks were last printed? Make sure that you are using the Annual tax tables.

What about the "Employee's Pay Period" setting on the Maintain List of Employees screen. This is what tells us how many checks per year this employee receives, so that we can accurately calculate against the annual tax tables.

Some tax tables, such as the Federal Single / Married tables, have a minimum amount per year that the employee needs to earn before taxes are taken out.

There are several possibilities as to what could be wrong, but each of them does rely on something being changed in the system since the tax calculations were last correct.

No, we did not change the tax tables change since last payroll.

I was wondering if it is possible that the tax tables got set back to the default which is 0 and is not using the tax tables (which you can view and all the %'s for each table and they are selected for each employee but not calcuating) that was set up to calculate the payroll taxes. If this is possible can it be changed back to use the tax tables and where do I find it?

There isn't a function in the program to "reset" the tax tables, nor is there an option to import new numbers. They would have to be manually changed through the Maintain Tax Tables screen. Is it possible that a backup was restored which overwrote the file?

Thank you for all your time. I figured out the problem. I figured I was missing something or a step that got clicked off. I had new people working on our system and didn't know what they had done. Again thank you for all your help. Thanks, Carol
