Hi Brenda,
NOTE: Please make sure that you have a restorable backup prior to performing any troubleshooting steps.
Calculating and editing the employer’s share of FICA taxes
NOTE: To edit federal tax liabilities, you must have marked the Edit Financial Fields option in the Payroll Setup window (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu | Tools | Setup | Payroll | Payroll | Options button).
To edit the employer’s share of the FICA tax, use the Payroll Edit Federal Tax Liabilities window to make changes.
1. Open the Payroll Edit Federal Tax Liabilities window.
(Microsoft Dynamics GP menu | Tools | Utilities | Payroll | Edit Liabilities)
2. Move the cursor to the first available line in the scrolling window to enter information for a missing pay run.
3. Move the cursor to the appropriate field in the scrolling window to make changes to an existing pay run.
The changes you make in this window will be reflected on the following reports:
• Federal Tax Liabilities List
• Quarterly 941 Preparation Report
• Form 941
• Quarterly 941 Schedule B Preparation Report
• Quarterly 941 Schedule B
The Payroll Tax Liability Table will be updated with these changes. The Payroll Employee Master Table will not be affected. If changes are made using this window, it is recommended to print the Federal Tax Liabilities List and keep the report for records.
4. Choose OK to save your changes.
5. Finally, you will want to verify that the above steps worked. To do this, close your Payroll Year-End as follows:
a. Go to Tools | Routines | Payroll | Year-End Closing
b. Select your year
c. Click Process
6. Now that the year has been closed, you should be able to print your 941 quarterly reports and W-2s to the screen to ensure that everything was updated correctly
7. After verifying the workaround works properly, be sure to remove the year-end information:
a. Go to Tools | Utilities | Payroll | Remove Year-End Information
b. Insert your year
c. Click Process
Hope this helps,
