Editing payroll tax forms

Calculate penalties and interest on payroll tax forms

If you're making your payment late, you will likely be required to pay interest or penalties on the outstanding amount on the payroll tax form. You can choose to have the application automatically calculate penalties and interest for the forms, but this feature is not automatically enabled.
This feature can be turned on in one of 2 screens:
  • Actions
    , then
    Edit Payroll Tax forms
    .
    Select
    Calculates Penalty
     the
    Interest
     to have the application calculate penalties and interest on the currently selected forms, based on your current system date. This remains active (green) until manually toggled off or until the application is closed.
  • Actions
    , then
    Process Payroll Tax Forms
    .
    Mark the
    Calculate penalty/interest
     checkbox to have the application calculate penalties and interest on the currently selected forms, based on your current system date. Once you mark the checkbox, it remains marked until manually cleared or until the application is closed.

Create the liability

Use
Process Adjustments
 to create a Payroll Liability check for the calculated penalties and interest. The adjustment will appear as a
Pen/Int Adj
 in the
Print Checks
, then
Payroll Liabilities
 tab.
