I should have asked for this a long time ago, but it would save me, and I expect others too) a bit of time if you would add a line to the Employer's Payroll Total Report (Federal) reading "Employer's FICA Expense". The amount shown would be the Employee and Employer FICA minus the employee's FICA deduction.

You might consider adding another line for "Employer's Medicare Expense", which would be the same as what's shown under the employee's Medicare deduction.

That would confuse people Jeff since that number is not needed for any report and the tax liabilities in the Employer Totals report which combines the employee and employer figures which are reportable are in the order of data entry for making payments to the IRS at http://www.eftps.gov. But if you really want to see that split, it is shown on the Tax Reports in the Tax Liability report.

PayWindow does not track any Employer's contributions to medical or retirement plans where there is a split. So that is not a figure we'd have.
