Enter Manual Checks - Taxes Tab

Access this tab using Activities>Payroll>Enter Manual Checks. It is only available with the Payroll module; it is not available for Payroll Link users.

Use this tab to select taxes and their attributes to apply to the employee's manual check. Remember for manual checks, the system does not automatically calculate taxes for the employee—you must calculate and enter them here.

The Tax Types you can specify include federal, state, and other taxes. If the Tax Type is SWT (State Withholding Tax), SUTA (State Unemployment Tax), LWT (Other Taxes Employee Paid Tax) or LER (Other Taxes Employer Paid Tax), you must specify a Jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is the state or other taxes code you set up using the Maintain>Payroll>State Taxes form and/or Other Taxes form.

The tax types are as follows:

Code	Name	Jurisdiction Required
FIT	Federal Income Tax	No
SS	Social Security Taxes	No
MC	Medicare Taxes	No
FUTA	Federal Unemployment Tax	No
SWT	State Withholding Taxes	Yes
SUTA	State Unemployment Taxes	Yes
LWT	Other Taxes Employee Paid Taxes	Yes
LER	Other Taxes Employer Paid Taxes	Yes

 

Taxes: The Taxes table allows you to enter a tax type, jurisdiction (when appropriate), SUTA weeks, employee subject earnings, employer subject earnings, employee amount, and employer amount.

Total Hours: This is the employee's total for the Hours column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Gross Pay: This is the employee's total for the Amount column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Click the Select tab to recalculate the form's totals for all of the tabs.
