When an employee does not have unpaid earnings for the period where the tax correction should appear:

  1. In Payroll, from the Tasks menu, select Enter Checks.
  2. Enter the View, type the Period begin date, and then click OK.
  3. Enter the Employee and type the Period end date.
  4. Select the Check seq and press the TAB key.
  5. Click Tax and make any corrections to employee paid taxes.
    Note: If you are increasing an employee tax, you will need to offset the tax amount with wages, deduction credit, loan / advance, or tax credit to another tax. Contact your certified tax advisor to determine the best option to offset the tax.
  6. Click Emplr Tax and make any corrections to employer paid tax.
  7. Click Accept line and then click Process.
    Note: For Canadian payroll, to update the employee province totals enter two offsetting lines of time for +/- .01 for each applicable province.
  8. If the correction is for an employer tax or the net check amount is zero:
    1. Click Manual.
    2. Enter a check number and check date and then click OK.
    3. Click Accept check and then click Finish.

    If the net check amount is positive, click Accept check and then click Finish. Print the check for the employee.

  9. From the Tasks menu, select Post Checks and click Start.
  10. If you needed to adjust the tax amount as a result of taxable and subject-to amounts calculating incorrectly, recalculate subject-to. See article DocLink: How do I recalculate subject-to for the current year? or DocLink: How do I recalculate subject-to amounts for prior year totals? for directions.
