How do I correct SUI subject-to?

SUGGESTED

My state unemployment tax rate was input incorrectly........it was entered as 10.0000 instead of .100000. It has happened for eight weeks. No taxes have actually been paid as these are due quarterly. I have corrected the tax rate in payroll set-up. I need to correct the erroneous amounts before the end of the quarter so I pay the correct amount of taxes.

    Probably not the best answer.  But here's what we did with the same situation last year.  In Payroll, Set up a new pay period, and Enter Checks, as a Second check for each employee impacted.  Zero out everything. In the employer tax portion enter the amount to correct the SUI (The difference between what it is on your report, and what it should be (-0.00)).  Make certain everything else is zeroed out, including direct deposits and all fringes.  Process and print 'fake' checks using whatever numbering system you use for other corrections that won't interfere with your normal check numbers.  Post this payroll as usual.  Your new report should reflect the correct amounts.
