I can see that you're having data issues with your tax forms for the state of Oregon, SheelaAC. I'm here to assist you and ensure that you can file them accurately with the correct information.

 

The Payroll Summary report and Form 132 should have matching hours as they share the same source. When you process payroll, it populates the hours worked from the employee's paycheck details in both areas.

So if you notice a discrepancy between the hours on these two reports, it likely means there's inconsistent data on the actual paychecks. Double-check that the hours on the paychecks for the quarter match what you expect to see on the reports.

 

You can also use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to help us identify and fix small data errors that can be causing the discrepancies. The Tool Hub comes with utilities that can scan for and repair corrupted or incorrect data that could lead to discrepancies like payroll hour differences. By running these tools, you can sync up small data inconsistencies and improve the accuracy of your QuickBooks data.

 

Let me show you how:

 

  1. Download the most recent version (1.5.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe). You can look it up in your Downloads folder or in the location you selected when you downloaded it.
  3. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  4. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
  5. Once opened, look for Program Problems, then select Quick Fix my Program.
  6. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

 

For additional details on using the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub to fix various errors and data issues, feel free to check out this article: Fix Common Problems and Errors With the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

 

After that, go back to the Form 132 to check if the number of hours is already similar to your Payroll Summary report. 

 

Let me also share this comprehensive year-end checklist for QuickBooks Payroll that covers all the steps for payroll year-end processes: Year-end Checklist For QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

This guide walks through key tasks like preparing annual filings, issuing W-2s, closing the payroll year, and more. Having a detailed checklist can help ensure you complete everything required.

 

Please feel free to reference this if you need a thorough walkthrough of payroll year-end to-dos, SheelaAC. The QuickBooks Community is always here if you have any other payroll questions come up. Let me know how else I can assist as you wrap up 2023 taxes and payroll.
