FUTA

[Dandra]

I have seven employees. The tax was figure on only 6. I thought this tax was set up in the Company info. I have checked everything But can't find the answer.
Thanks

Several things to look at. First if the employee earned over $7,000 they are now exempt from further FUTA tax. Or you set the employee up as tax exempt from FUTA. Or it is not set up an employee but a non-employee worker. Those are the three things that come to mind.

where do I change employee to non employee.

Actually you cannot simply change and employee to be a non-employee payee as the stored transactions will not be changed and that is a problem. You better call me as this needs explanation of what problems you have from past payments made to the person. But the instructions for setting up a non-employee is in the help file on these pages:

and

But if you've made payments, you will need to call me as there will be problems with the stored transactions.

Just talked with you on the phone. Please follow the instructions at the link below and send me your database. In the email tell me who the employee is that is not being included in the report.

I went back and check transactions and found that the employee was checked exempt y for the whole year. Also the first Paycheck for this year was also checked yes. So I must have had it checked and didn't realize it. I guess I changed it after the first pay period of this year. It is now changed to no. But how do i fix the problem. Can I go to each transaction and change it or how should i fix it. Thanks for your help.

That's what I would have looked for. You will need to do the math with your calculator for the 2011 Report. If the person was still set this year and you did a payroll or two, change the settings for the employee, delete the payroll transactions(s) and set the date to the first payroll and re-pay the person and repeat as needed.

Thank you. I will repay the employee for January 16th payroll. And just calculate the 2011 taxes. I have learned a lot about the software through the forum. I had trouble with registration for a while but finally got registrared and I have learned a lot.
