PR Employee Changed Address

SOLVED

I have an employee that moved from one state to another and forgot to tell us.  We have only processed 1 payroll for this year under the wrong state and i would like to some how "reverse" out the State taxes from that state and put them into the correct state.

I thought I could just do a negative in the wrong state and a positive in the correct state and all would be good.  But....In the payroll master file for the employee, there is a state tax that has all their wages and subject to info.  Do I need to just manually adjust that info and keep an audit trail of it?  Or is there some other way of taking care of it? 

I would like to get it taken care of before I have to send in my end of the month state withholding deposits.

Thank you in advance.

    I would think you'd need to VOID the check from last payroll and re-enter it with the new state info.  Hopefully the net amount remains the same and has no effect on the employee.  If the net did change, you'd need to include a MISC deduction or pay to get the new check to match the old check, and then reverse that out with another check for that difference.  I just went through this with Sage support.

    It was a direct deposit...so i don't think i can void it.

    Can I do......

    sequence 1 check with the wrong state and negative pay/taxes/fringes/etc

    sequence 2 check with correct state, I'll adjust the tax amount to match what was really withheld and have a zero check

    sequence 3 correct check state and amount for this week.

    End result....only sequence 3 check will be "added" to year to date totals.

    Thoughts?

    Thank you

    You can VOID Direct Deposits the same way you void checks.  The recommended workflow to correct this would be to VOID the original check and update the data.  In the enter check screen, you can adjust taxes, deductions, fringes to match the original check as necessary.  A separate adjustment check with MISC deductions or pays is not required.

    Hope this helps.
