Hi Paul, I have one I can't figure out. I have one employee that her federal withholding is off. She started in July of last year, and no mention was made until she got her W-2, and noticed that her federal withholding was off. I looked at last years database and I see nothing different than all of my other employees. She is in as hourly, 1 fed and 1 state for exemptions. Only $23.10 was deducted. This year so far only $1.76 has been deducted. Where am I missing my mistake?

Thanks,
Jay

Not enough information Jay. I need *all* of the federal settings. In addition to what you gave me I need:

Married, Single?

Pay Period, Weekly, by weekly etc? <-- this is usually the one item that can really change withholding. If it is a weekly payee and you accidentally have it set as say monthly it is a big difference.

What was the dollar amount of the wages?

With that we can test.

Thanks, for the fast response, we figured out what we did. It was not the software.

Thanks again for the reply
