2 Qustions regarding Payroll calculations

[BJC]

State Taxes
1. My state taxes are not calcuating as expected. They are as much as .19 off for one employee, compared to the withholding tables. The new tax tables are installed and the correct table is selected. Federal tax calcs correctly, maybe state tax is too????


Vacation
2. I have a carryover balance from 2003, but the vacation remaining does not calculate at all. Also, the vacation accured does not calc for my hourly employees (the one salaried employee is fine, but I don't see why this would matter).

Even if I remove the beg balance, the accured vacation remains at 0. PT support left the issue unresolved.

TIA.

about question 2:

When I first started using Peachtree, I discovered that you initially enter your vacation hours in beginning balances. After that you have to manually add them in at the beginning of each year, unless you use a formula in the tax tables (look at one of the sample companies). I don't use a formula since we just add in a lump sum amount of hours at the beginning of each year, and then subtract them as we use them.

This information is from a prior post which explains how to adjust or enter vacation hours.

"Create a zero payroll check to enter lump sum amounts for their vacation/sick time or add it to the first check of the year. To do a zero check you zero out all hours and deductions, then enter the amount of hours in the vacation/sick field you want to add. Give it a unique check number so you can tell it is not an actual check in the check register or account rec screens."

Also, look at the vacation field in your Maintain Employee EE. If "run" is checked, the vacation hours carry over to the next year; if not they don't.

If you ARE using a formula to calculate, perhaps it's not showing any accrual because the formula hasn't been converted to a 2004 formula? If that was the case though I would assume you would have gotten an error message during your first 2004 payroll.
