I recently created a paycheck and processed it through QB Payroll and had it direct deposited. Only to find out later that the check did not take out any withholding for the usual items including FICA, Medicare and income tax. Now I have to figure out how to fix the problem including:
1. Calculating the proper FICA and Medicare withholding for both employer and employee.
2. Getting it into the system so that I can pay the proper amount to the federal govt for these items.
3. Correcting the paycheck to the employee - this is the least of my worries as the amount is in question is less then $50 and I am not going to ask for money back from him.
The other question is why this happened. Normally, it just does it automatically and I really never think about it. If I try to create the same paycheck, it will show the proper deductions. So I'm just not sure why that would have happened in the first place.
