Correct a payroll check with a pay item that had incorrect taxability

If you set up and used the wrong pay item on checks for an employee, there is a way to correct is when the taxability is not the same. Use the following steps:
  1. Select
    Setup
    , then
    Payroll Items
    .
  2. Edit the incorrect pay item.
  3. Select the
    Tax Exemptions
     tab.
  4. Mark or clear any checkboxes.
  5. Press
    Enter
     to save your changes.
  6. A window will ask for an effective date of the taxability change. Taxable wages for affected employees are updated, but the amounts on the payroll checks are not changed.
  7. To correct the payroll checks, you can make up the amounts on future checks, or delete and re-enter the payroll checks.
  8. Select
    Actions
    , then
    Enter Transactions
    .
  9. Select a check for an affected employee.
  10. Select
    Edit
    , then
    Adjust Taxable Wages
    .
Notice the adjusted columns have red numbers, and there is a note entered in the Notes column explaining that the adjustment is due to a change in the taxability of a pay item.
