Payroll Fringe Adjustments and Void/Reissue issues with 941 Prep report

SUGGESTED
Posted By

Hi, I have a couple of Payroll related adjustment questions.

1. It appears that when we void/reissue a payroll check, the void is offsetting the 941 Preparation report (as it should), but the reissued check is not being included in the 941 Preparation totals. Has anyone else seen this or have an idea why this may happen?

2. Can we issue a zero sum check on an earlier period to adjust fringe / deduction codes for an employee? Luckily, they are not related to a tax, just internal reporting. Like if the month is August, can we cut a check dated in Feb to make and adjustment to a prior period or will that cause issues? 

Thanks for any feedback!

    Warren -

    1. If the check date of the reissued check is the same as the voided date (as it should be), then it should re-effect the 941 Preparation report appropriately.  If you are reissuing the check with a different date, then it is effecting the 941 Preparation report of that period.

    2.  Yes you can void checks for prior periods and repost them.  However, you mention deduction codes, if you are swapping deduction codes between taxable and non-taxable, then you need to be careful as this will effect taxability and your 941 Preparation report.  If you are swapping between reimbursements that have no taxability, then you should be fine.

    All that being said, you need a full understanding of what is going to happen with a check that you are making adjustments too.  Since you are experiencing issues with your 941 Preparation report, I believe adjustments might be happening incorrectly if they no longer tie to what you reported.  You might want to get with a Sage consultant to review specific examples of what checks have been changed and why your 941 report is now off.
