Is it possible in Payroll to write a manual check that will calculate correct FICA, Medicare, Fed WH and State WH?
Is it possible to edit the Federal and State WH before printing?
I have GP 2010

Lyn, I miss spoke / typed if I lead you to believe Manual Checks are calcuated in the Canadian system. Sorry, no, they are exactly the same.
I was referring to the ability to do Adjustments on all the tax calculations after the Check Generation is done.
That's so interesting; thanks for the post!
Do you mean after "Calculate Checks" is processed (yet before a check is issued)? Or are you talking about during the Manual Check Entry process?
You definitely can enter any tax amounts you'd like during the Manual Check process, but I didn't think GP would calculate the taxes on a Manual Check.
During the "standard" payroll check process, I am unaware of any way to adjust the tax calculations prior to cutting the check so that they are withheld at the specific amounts I would like.
What does your adjustment screen look like, and how does it work?
Lyn, in the Canadian side we have a set of Adjustments that allow the user to change the Tax amounts - after the system calculates the payroll cheque. I would have hoped that was consistent to the US as well.
I'm not clear on what you're trying to accomplish, but hopefully this will help ~
When you use Payroll Manual Checks, you need to enter every dollar amount, including any taxes. They do not get calculated automatically. If you do need to make some sort of adjustment to federal or state withholdings, you can key in specific dollar amounts using the Payroll Manual Check Transaction Entry window.
However, if you need to pay an employee for something, and you want to the taxes to be calculated, the best way would be to cut a separate "regular" payroll check.
One alternate method of potentially adjusting federal or state withholdings, while still using a "regular" payroll check, would be to temporarily manipulate the employees Additional Withholding amount and/or the taxability checkboxes on the pay code itself. If you choose to do that, just be sure to reset the amounts and/or checkboxes prior to the next standard check run.
