Employees and payroll

Good Afternoon, @CharlieBrown69

 

Welcome to the community, I'm happy to help walk you through the steps on how to edit payroll items.

 

Edit payroll items used on paychecks

 

If you set up a payroll item incorrectly and used this payroll item on one or more paychecks, it could cause incorrect tax totals to be withheld.

 

Additionally, year-end tax forms, such as the W-2, 941 and state forms could be incorrect and need to be fixed.

 

We'll show you how to correct it.

 

  1. Edit the payroll item.
    • Select Lists on the top menu bar. Then select Payroll Item List.
    • Right-click the item and select Edit.
    • Select Next twice. Enter the correct tax tracking type. Then select Next.
    • Select the correct taxes. Then select Next.
    • Select Calculate Based on Quantity. Then select Next.
    • Enter the limit type, if all the employees have the same rate and limit.
    • If the employees do not have a default rate and limit but do have the same rates and limits, enter the amounts.
    • Select Finish.

I'm also including an article that goes in detail about making changes to payroll items: Edit payroll items used on paychecks.
