1. Go to your Payroll Item List, then right-click on the National Paid Leave - Health Payroll Item.
2. Select QuickReport.
3. Update the dates to reflect the period you are looking for. The amount should show the total sick and family leave health costs you have attributed to National Paid Leave for that date range.
4. You may need to take a percentage of the total leave taken for the quarter to obtain the separate sick and family leave amounts requested on the Interview for Form 941.

Note: If you did not report health costs using payroll items assigned the tax tracking types that will flow to the necessary lines on the 941, you can manually enter the amounts when creating Form 941.
