did anyone havetrouble with 941 taxes not calculated correctly because pay period was 07/31/25-08/15/25. And the taxes were calculated using 08/01/25-08/30/25

Currently, we haven’t received any notifications related to 941 taxes not being calculated correctly, Ellen.

 

There are few things I suggest for you to check.

 

First, confirm the pay periods and paycheck dates. You can do this by going to the Payroll section and ensure they align with your intended schedule.

 

Then, verify the paycheck from the Employees tab. Take a close look at the paycheck date alongside the pay period range. The paycheck date determines when the wages are reported for tax calculation purposes, so it’s important to ensure this is correct.

 

Lastly, check  your 941 report and review the wages and taxes listed in the report to confirm whether the system is including paychecks in the correct quarter. If you spot an error with the paycheck date, you may need to adjust those specific paychecks to ensure they report correctly.

 

 

If you've gone through these steps and everything looks accurate but the issue persists, I’d recommend reaching out to our Live Support Team. They’ll be able to investigate further and assist with any corrections that might be needed to ensure your 941 form is accurate.
