Wage and tax report

The Payroll Wage & Tax Report provides a breakdown of wage and payroll tax amounts over a specified period for employees. The information is used to make tax payments and complete filings.

The employer summary appears at the top of the report and the employee’s individual wages and taxes are displayed after.

Benefits and deductions report

Benefits and deductions added to employees' pay can be viewed on individual pay statements and year-end tax forms, however, the benefits and deductions report combines this information in one place.

The Employee Summary section shows you the benefits and deductions broken down by employee. You can see the type of benefit or deduction, the number of pay periods where these were applied for each employee, and the total amount for each type of benefit or deduction.

The Employee details section further breaks this information down and displays the specific pay periods where each benefit or deduction was applied, as well as the payday.
