  • The system calculates the following numbers using a formula
    • Line 2 - Total wages, tips, etc., subject to withholding 
  • The amounts that populate on the form using actual check detail from the employee and company totals
    • Line 3 -  Total income tax withheld
    • Line 5a - Taxable Social security wages
    • Line 5b - Taxable Social security tips
    • Line 5c - Taxable Medicare wages and tips
  • Tax deposit for the quarter and Schedule B
    • Line 13 - Tax deposits for this quarter. This amount reflects the actual deposits you paid and recorded in PR, Taxes, FICA and FWT (941) Deposits
    • 941 Schedule B - These numbers pull from the liability in the Payroll, Taxes, FICA and FWT (941) Deposits screen 
    •  To access the 941 Schedule B in Enhanced Tax Reporting, go to page 2. Check the box You were a semiweekly schedule depositor for any part of this quarter
       NOTE: If necessary, you can edit the numbers on the 941 Schedule B to reflect the correct liability for the period
