Hi there, James. When income tax amounts show up on an employee’s pay stub but are missing from the T4 form, it's important to review the payroll reports and the employee's tax setup to understand how the amounts are being recorded.
First, check the date of the employee’s final pay stub. If the employee was paid in 2026, their income will be reported on the 2026 T4, not the 2025 form. Then, run the Payroll Details Report for the period of January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. Compare the total income tax withheld with the year-to-date tax shown on the employee’s final pay stub.
Additionally, confirm the employee’s tax setup to ensure they are not marked as tax-exempt and that the federal income tax is configured correctly. You can also run the Tax and Wage Summary Report for 2025 to check whether the income tax withheld is recorded for that employee.
