Drake Accounting - Troubleshooting State Wage Report

Overview

1. Verify setup.

   • Verify that the State code is entered in the State field of the address at Client > Add/Edit, on the Contact Information tab.

   • Verify state rates and limits at Firm > Rates & Withholding setup, in the State Setup section.

   • Verify the employee's State in the address field at Employees > Employee Setup on the Personal Info tab.

   • Verify the state code in the Tax Table field at Employees > Employee Setup on the State Tax tab.

   • Check setup information for additional deduction and benefits that may be set up as not taxable by the State (Employees > Deductions & Benefits).

2. Verify the checks you expect to be part of the report and the dates for those checks.

   • The checks must be printed with a check date within the quarter reported in order to appear in the report. Either:

     • Verify that live checks have been printed at Employees > Check Print.

     • Verify both check printing and check date at Employees > Live or ATF payroll by selecting each employee to verify the check dates used for the checks that have been printed or entered as ATF.
