form 940

Does the company have any pre-tax payroll items such as health insurance?

I cannot find where to pose my question?

My total payroll is showing exempt on line 4 of the 940 form.

I did not have FUTA tax selected for each employee.

How do I correct the line 4 of the 940 form to reflect 3500.00 (7000.00 for each employee x5)

thank you

Hi there, Gereauto.

I'll share steps to ensure that you're able to correct the 940 form.

I suggest going to the Payroll Taxes and Liabilities section to manually adjust the liability. This way QuickBooks will show the correct wage amount on the 940 forms.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Employees menu.
2. Select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities. Then, Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
3. Make sure to select the correct date.
4. Choose Employee from the drop-down list.
5. Complete the Taxes and Liabilities fields.
6. Select Accounts Affected and then OK.
7. Repeat for other employees if you need to. Then, hit OK.

For additional information on how to finish the process, you can refer to this article: Adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop.
