W2 & W3 issue with multiple local taxes

[Vicki]

I have been using Zpay for several years. Love the ease of use etc. However, I have a city and a school tax for my locality. I have set up the school tax as a deduction and used the tax percentage as the deductible amount. The total for the year for each employee prints in box 14 on the W2. I have set up a description to print with the amount. When I print the W3 the total for all the individual school taxes is not listed anywhere on that form. Is this a problem, should I have it print somewhere on the W3? The city tax prints on the W3 in box 19 as local income tax as it should. But the program does not allow 2 local taxes. Just wondering if the way I am doing the forms is the best way and that nothing has changed with the program that would allow me to print both local taxes in box 19 since it is 2 lines on the W2. Also do I need to worry that since my total is not showing up on the W3 that it could be a problem down the road that my school tax is not showing.

Thanks

The best way to handle this is by using W2Express which allows you to edit the W2 Forms and then print them and the W3 with two local taxes.

I looked at the link and while the software is not really expensive I have less than 10 W2 forms to do here and was hoping there was some fix I could do without more expense. Can I just type the information on the W3 form with an old typewriter and leave the school tax in box 14? Is there anything I can do manually to make the forms correct other than W2 express?

Only 10 employees? Then I have a better FREE method for you. See this FAQ as the SSA has a site for you to use:
