Error on 940 - Exempt Payments

After 90 minutes with tech support and God bless her, but she had no clue on how to fix this. Said I should review every paycheck. Really? And how was that going to fix it? Here is how I got the form to calculate the correct amounts.

DOUBLE CHECK - Checked all my 941s and State Unemployment returns, payroll amounts were all correct.

 

Problem: 940 shows exempt payments of $74.40 and balance due of 45 cents.

 

Isolate the Employee:

1- Ran the Excel Tax Forms report for 940.

2- Ran a Payroll Summary by Employee

 

1- On the 940 side. On the Excel report, key in the QB payroll amount, Calculate the difference.

Make a Payroll Adjustment - Federal Unemployment, Amount = 0, Wage Base = 0, Income Subject to Tax = amount

Accounts Affected = Yes

Welcome to Community, @DebC-TSB.

 

Great job on creating an adjustment to correct the form, appreciate the step-by-step instruction. Thus, adjusting payroll liabilities per employee is our way to correct payroll forms and reports.

 

Additionally, here's a link that covers all tasks you can do when using the payroll feature.
