Bad Data

[stingrea]

I just came across a bug-boo. I just ran a report for "Quarterly Totals for Tax Reporting (Hourly)" to fill out our state quarterly. Anyway I took the "Employer SUTA Tax Rate and put it in the form and saw a big difference on what it said we paid and what we owed. So checking the totals from the Oregon monthly forms for the amounts we actually sent in, I see a big difference to what the PayWindow report said we sent in.

Checking it out, the program calculated the amount off our new Unemployment rate for the year 2010 not on the rate we had last year!

Well this is very wrong. And should it not keep the actual payment amount in a data base instead of recalculating it?

Anyway if it has to be calculated it should be at the rate for that year not this years rate.

It is up to you to enter the rate for the year that you are printing reports for just like it was up to you to enter it in the first place. SUTA rates are different for each company, and if you did not print reports for a prior year, you would need to edit the rate and the wage limit if it changed to go back and print old reports.

The SUTA rates should be entered in the company override so you don't have to worry about updating the tax records after every update. See this FAQ:

Of course if you receive a notice that your rate changed from the state, you would change it there as well.

The wage limit is under Tools, State Taxes and your state and remember to change it back to the 2010 default when you are done.
