My payroll report is blank

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

The Tax Liability Report or other payroll report has section headings, but no data displays. Payroll is calculated properly in Sage 50 Accounting.

Cause

  • The report has a date range that doesn’t include the date of the checks
  • The payroll tax fields haven’t been assigned
  • Paycheck entered with a date in the past month but voided in the current month
  • Voided paycheck is offsetting current month paychecks
  • The latest installed tax service isn’t applied

Resolution

Adjust Date Range

  1. Select Lists, Employees & Payroll, Paychecks.
  2. Select the appropriate date range from the Date Range drop-down window.
  3. If the paychecks are in the list, record the check date.
    If the paychecks aren’t in the list, change the Date Range drop-down until you locate them. Record the check date.
  4. Return to the Tax Liability Report.
  5. Click Options.
  6. Adjust the fields in the Dates section to a range that’s equal to or includes the check date.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Confirm that the report data populates.

Assign Tax Fields

See Assign payroll tax fields to the W2 form. Be certain to review the W2 Fields, Company-Paid Taxes and Employee-Paid State Taxes areas.

Voided paychecks

  1. Click Lists, Employees and Payroll, Paychecks.
  2. Set Date Range to the appropriate filing period.
  3. Delete all voided paychecks, and the original checks
     NOTE: 

     

    Voided paychecks are indicated by a check number followed by a V; the check number is the same as the original check (for example, check 1000V voids check 1000); both checks must be deleted. 
  4. Verify that your taxes report correctly on your payroll reports.
