 Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 3:46 pm Post subject: Taxes Changing on Salaried Employee's Paycheck |
 |
|
I am running QB 2006 Pro and one of my salaried employee's net pay is
not always the same. I looked at the detail and it appears that the
problem is that the Federal Witholding amounts differ...there are even
a couple of checks with $0.00 deduction for Fed W/H.
I do not do anything other than place a checkmark next to this
employee's name and click on "creat paycheck" when I pay this
employee. What could be
causing this problem?
I am using the current update (20810).
Thank you |

Do you think it would help if we know how often you calculate payroll, the
employees wages, status and exemptions? Based on the limited info all I can
say at this point is that it is god's will.

They are on a bi-weekly payroll and the employee's filing status
doesn't matter because there should always be federal w/h taken from
the check.
His gross pay is always the same - $1177.00 - and here's the rundown:
His paychecks from the beginning of the year until 3/19 had $33
deducted for federal w/h.
From 4/2-5/28 the federal w/h was $80, on 6/11 the w/h was $0.
The last 2 paychecks (6/25 and 7/9) were back to $80 w/h.
So, as you can see, it appears to be arbitrary. |

I work out of my home office and, unless my pets are getting into the
Quickbooks, no one else has access.
I guess I'll give Quickbooks a call...not that they've ever been of
any assistance to me in the past!!

to call Quickbooks. |

It was just brought to my attention. I would never expect the payroll
program to arbitrarily change someone's deductions.
I don't examine everyone's paychecks to make sure their deductions are
correct.

I guess that also includes the status of do not withhold.

It would seem most peculiar it's a program defect if it only occurs for
one individual.
I'd look for an (inadvertent, perhaps) change in the deduction status
for that particular employee.
Who does QB entry, you, a single employee, multiple employees...???
Same for who does payroll?

Examine the hard copy stubs to see what the computer knew at that time what his
deductions were. Until this is done, no specific help is possible. (Oh, if you
keep backups you should check those as well)
Do you have more than one person on salary? If so, does this "bug" affect any
other employee? Any problems with hourly employees?
Have you grabbed IRS Pub 15 and hand calculated what his deduction should be?
Does any of the amounts match? You may want to hand calculate a payroll for
everyone and check it.
Possible (not in any order)
1) Bad hardware You likely would be getting blue screens if this were true.
2) You changed them and didn't know or remember you did it - Did he update his
W-4? Did you think you were updating another employee's w-4 info and get his by
mistake?
3) You entered amounts on the payroll entry screen to override the calculated
amounts (and maybe didn't know you did it)
4) Your computer has been compromised
5) Corruption in your data file
6) Corruption in the payroll update(s)
7) QB has a bug and you are the only person to whom it applies. Believe me if
QB had this as a bug thousands of people would be screaming.
As for #6, check your update history and see if the dates of the payroll updates
you got happen to match the changes in his check and your payroll dates.
Sorry for the homework, but the more we can eliminate the better the advice. |
