OK thanks! Problem solved after getting help from support. The problem is the way that the payroll settings are setup with respect to pay schedule for a specific employee and when exactly the payroll is deposited into the bank "i.e the "Pay Date". On my account the settings were causing the payroll deposits to hit my bank account one day after the month and in other cases one day before, so some months would only have one pay check applied to it, while other months had two checks, and another would have three checks, so the federal taxes that my business was paying would fluctuate based on the exact month that the checks were being deposited. It wasn't that I was overpaying taxes in any way, just paying different amounts each month because of how the settings were adjusted for payroll deposit dates.
For anyone else out there interested in this fix, just go to Payroll / Employees / "click on employee" / 'click edit on Employment Details" / "click the pencil to edit the pay schedule" / then adjust settings to make sure the "Pay Date" is dropping on the appropriate date.
