Employer taxes are not provided on any of the Payroll reports. Due to this, it is recommended that a start date be for a clean year start or quarter start.
Please note that without ER tax calculations, employer tax liabilities, accruals, and total payroll cost reporting may be incomplete or inaccurate. This may also impact downstream reconciliation and reporting.
Tax Returns:
- Across the top click on Report Center → Financial Reports
- Click on the Payroll Tab
- Under Payroll Reports → Payroll Tax Reports
- Select Federal Tax Summary (Form 941)
- Reporting Year: Select current year
- Quarter: Select the closed quarter
- Tax Form Type: Both
- If starting in Q1, pull the prior quarter's return (Q3 or Q4) to confirm tax information.
- If starting mid-year, pull every closed quarters return in the current year.
Obtaining closed quarter(s) tax filings is required and will allow you to tie out each quarter to ensure balancing with the transfer of historical data.
Tax documents serve dual purpose for setup:
- Allows you to tie out closed quarters in the current year when importing the historical data.
- Provides required information to complete the Tax Parameters.
