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
The benefits and deductions report combines the information about employees' benefits and deductions found in individual pay statements and year-end tax forms.
The Employee Summary section lists benefits and deductions information by employee. It contains: 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 details this information, and includes the specific pay periods where each benefit or deduction was applied, and the payday.
