Something to check. Under Maintain Employee Defaults, Employee Fields and Company Fields tabs, you will see a line for Soc Security and also one for Medicare. These lines have the calculated field box checked and over to the far right is an Adjust button. Click the Adjust button, under Employee Field Names is the USE column. When a box is checked under the USE column it tells Sage what to use when calculating that specific tax.   For example if Social Security does NOT have any pretax deductions, then only the Gross should be checked under the USE column. If the Social Security has a pretax deduction then you would check the USE box for that line for the Field Name associated with that deduction, so Sage will take the Gross less the deduction and then calculate the Social security tax.  I am thinking you have some things checked under the the Company Fields Use box for Social Security and Medicare that do not match what is checked under the USE box for the Employee Fields.  I would make a backup before I go changing things. Or I would make a backup, then restore that backup to a NEW company.  Change the New Company name to TEST under Maintain Company Information so you can identify the Test company from your live company. Then make the changes in the Test company.

Hope this helps you resolve it.
