941 doesn't agree with qtrly employee wage statement

[robertwildwood1]

4th qtr line 2 wages shown on 941 is way below totals shown on "Quarterly Employee wage statement". Qtrly wage statement agrees to the total of gross wages paid after adding up my payrolls so 941 is off. Do I have some setting wrong or other suggestion on where to start to figure out why? (new user to zpay - appreciate your prompt response to my previous question)

That's because you have non-taxable deductions setup and line two is the TAXABLE wages and not the GROSS wages.

Paul, I'm off by quite a bit. approx 50,000 in gross wages vs. 30,000 on the 941. I only have one ee with non-tax deductions for a small amount. Any other thoughts? Looks like there are still 2009 transactions in the database. Maybe I need to run year-end for 2009 and get rid of them? But I'm not sure why previous 3 qtrs would tie out if that was it. Thanks

No, old data is only picked up if the old year is selected as PayWindow is date sensitive. Did you pay some huge bonus or something this quarter but in some unnatural way of entering it?

If you want, I can examine your entries in Access if you send me your database backup file. See this FAQ for instructions:

I received your database and upon inspection, you have some employees marked as Agricultural Workers which are reported on the 943 Form and NOT the 941 Form. That is where the difference is coming from.
