I understand the need to file accurate FUTA 940 tax forms efficiently in your account, Nicki5. I've got insights to share, so you can get back to business.
When managing payroll tax discrepancies in your account, I suggest running a Tax Form Worksheet to keep track of missing and incorrect data in your file. To do this:
- Click Reports at the top menu bar and choose Employees & Payroll.
- Tap More Payroll Reports in Excel.
- Select Tax Form Worksheets.
- Choose Annual 940, filter the Dates, and click Create Report
Once ready, I recommend adjusting payroll liabilities for that employee. This way, QuickBooks will show the correct wage amount on the 940 forms. It's best to track and review these data per quarter. Here's how:
- Go to the Employees menu.
- Select Payroll Taxes and Liabilities. Then, Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
- Make sure to select the correct date.
- Choose Employee from the drop-down list.
- Complete the Taxes and Liabilities fields.
- Select Accounts Affected and then OK.
- Repeat for other employees if you need to. Then, click OK.
In case you want to review your business finances, run a specific report that gives you the total payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions if you have an active payroll: Create a payroll summary report in QuickBooks.
