Employee Retention Credit - 2nd qtr

Hi Mistyjca02. Just so we can both get on the same page, what questionnaire are you referring to? If you're having trouble setting up the employee retention credit tracking, check out this article on 

How to set up and track the Employee Retention Credit under the CARES Act. If this isn't what you were looking for, leave a reply below with possibly a screenshot so I can better understand what's going on and get to the bottom of it for you. Looking forward to hearing from you, Have a great day. 

Why is the 11c not refundable portion of the ERC not calculating? Qualified wages are correct - will not let me override the worksheet or the 941 report - sorry this was made for the moderator but it wont let me delete it

Let me help with your question about the Form 941, tmm.

The amount in Line 11c of the Form 941 can't be overridden. However, you can run a report to check where the amount is coming from.

Here's how:

1. Go to your Chart of Accounts, then look for the COVID-19 Expenses account.
2. Right-click on the account select QuickReport.
3. Update the dates to reflect the period you are looking for. The amount should show all the payroll items that are attached to this account and run the payroll on. The amount in the Total column reflects the amount of the credit.

You may also need to create a liability adjustment if you need to change the amount in Line 11c. Here's an article as a guide: Adjust Payroll Liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'd also like to add a couple more articles in case you might them in your future tasks:

• Create a Payroll Summary Report
• Correct Year-to-date (YTD) Additions or Deductions on a Paycheck When the Wrong Tracking Type Was Us...
