We just ran the year-end SUTA report for Oct-Dec 2013. For the first time ever, the amount on the report is different that what posted to GL by a sizable amount. The difference is $1.68. Usually when there is a difference it about 1 cent. What can I check to see what caused this difference?

Sandip, Great! Thanks for the update!
Cheryl,
You are correct. It was negative paycode amount was throwing difference. User has created negative transactions for paycode instead of creating deduction.
Thanks

Hi Richard and Sandip,
I would recommend to print the Employee Pay History report for the current year to verify that there are no negative amounts:
1. To print the Employee Pay History report, click Reports , point to Payroll , and then click History .
2. On the Employee Pay History Report, make sure that the line items are selected correctly for FUTA, and then make sure that the correct SUTA states are selected.
3. If an amount on the FUTA or SUTA report is negative, follow these steps: a. Make sure that a Commission Pay Code or a Pay Type was not used to repay money to an employee. If one of these items was used, it may cause negative amounts on the reports.
b. If a check was voided in the wrong period or if an employee is inactive, a negative number could be compiled.
c. Make sure that enough wages were paid in the period to cover the tax-sheltered annuity (TSA) deductions.
d. Make sure that benefits are not incorrectly selected to be subject to FUTA or SUTA. If they are, a negative number may be generated.
* Make sure that the report is not modified. If the report is modified, print the original report.
I hope this helps. Thanks,
Cheryl Waswick

Hello,
Any update on this will be highly appreciable.
Thanks

Hello Sir,
We have almost $34 difference between SUTA Summary Report for one STATE 'TN' and SUTA liabilities when user posted liabilities.
Now how can we found why GP is not calculating correct liabilities when posting GL?
Your help on this issue will be highly appreciable.
Thanks
Sandip
Let me rephrase this question. At the end of the quarter the balance on the SUTA account in the GL was $22,306.38. When the SUTA summary for NY report was run the Tax Due computed is $22,308.09 for a difference of $1.68. The most difference we have ever seen before was a penny. Only one state is involved and only one state is listed on the report. When I look at the ledger entry that resulted from the period end report running there are 15 lines for the SUTA account. Why are there some many lines? What makes up each line? Why not just create the one line for the total SUTA amount?
