Federal

1. Federal W/H not calculating correctly or Not at all
   
   
   1. Make sure they don't have the Override Payroll Item Amounts checked. (New in v5.58.01)
      
      
   2. CCB Check Tax Tables
      
      Setup -> System -> Tax Tables
      
      
   3. Check Calendar Year
      
      Setup -> System -> Calendar Year
      
      
   4. If the employee has more then (1) addition setup the system will not figure the taxes until you have cycled through all the additions.
      
      
   5. Go into Employee File Maintenance
      
      Check the Pay Frequency**
      
      
   6. Check to see what Addition Payroll Item Codes they are using
      
      
   7. Go into Setup -> Payroll -> Payroll Items
      
      Make sure the Addition code they are using has Income Tax Withholding checked on the Federal Screen
      
      
   8. Go into Setup -> Payroll -> Check Writing Employee Setup
      
      
      • Check to see if there are set to married or single ***.
      • Check the number of deductions (ie: Self, spouse and deductions ****)
      
      ** Note: If the Pay Frequency is set wrong (ie: Bi-Monthly instead of Bi-Weekly) the system may calculate that no tax should be withheld.
      
      *** Note: If the person is set to Single then checking Claim Spouse will do nothing. The system will not look at this in figuring the total number of deductions.
      
      Single - Self + Spouse = (1) deduction
      Married - Self + Spouse = (2) deductions
      
      **** Note: If they have Claim Self checked plus entered a 1 in the Deductions Field this adds up to a total of (2) deductions.
   
   
2. If you want/need to change the Gross Amount of the check but don't want the system to recalculate Federal or State withholding amounts. Enable the Override Payroll Item Amounts checkbox on the Payroll Entry Screen. Then change the Gross Amount. The system will recalculate FICA and Medicare but not the Federal or State figures.
