My client processes around 4,000 payroll checks a week. On only 1 of those checks the ssec & medicare withheld does not match what is posted to the gl.
The weekly gross is $500 with a pretax deduction of $50.25 so the taxable gross for ssec & medicare is $449.75. The correct amounts for each tax is being withheld: $27.89 & $6.52 respectively. The distribution posts $24.77 and $5.79 to the corresponding accounts. The differences are $3.12 & $.73. The entry is in balance because the expense portion is reduced by the difference. They have only processed 3 checks in the system and all 3 have the same results. The checks that were imported as manual checks from the legacy system had correct distributions.
SSEC W/H = 27.89
LIAB EE = 24.77
LIAB ER = 24.77
ER EXP = 21.65
Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated!
