If you have voided a check into the current reporting period (Quarter) and there are no positive earnings in this period for this employee(s), these negative wages will not reduce the amounts on the Aatrix 941 report.

It is not unusual to void a check issued in a prior reporting period to the current reporting period. If this is done and there are no other wages for this employee, the Aatrix 941 report will not report the "negative" wages. The totals on the Aatrix 941 report will be higher than your Deposit Summary or 941 Preparation reports.

If you've voided checks for an employee into the current reporting period and there are no regular positive earnings in this period, and this was intentional you'll need to do the following:

• Run the Deposit Summary report for the quarter you are reporting.
• Enter the correct values on to the first page of the Aatrix 941 report. Fields in the Aqua color can be replaced. Those amounts which may need to be corrected are the following:
  • Box 2 Wages, tips and other compensation
  • Box 3 Federal income tax withheld from wages, tips and other compensation
  • Box 5a Taxable social security wages
  • Box 5b Taxable social security tips
  • Box 5c Taxable Medicare wages & tips
  • Box 5d Taxable wages & tips subject to Additional Medicare Tax withholding.
• Run the Deposit Summary report for each check date for each month on this quarter and replace the amounts on each month for each check date on the Schedule B. Verify that the Tax Liability Amount field for each Month is correct.

Remember that the Aatrix 941 Report and the 941 Preparation report do not include FUTA_E taxes. Do not include FUTA_E taxes in your adjustments.

FUTA_E taxes are reported Annually on the 940 report.
