For payroll compliance (annually licensed)
The application handles the employee count for 941 forms and state unemployment (SUTA) forms differently depending on whether or not the
Calculate month 1-3 employee count on payroll tax forms based on active employee status
checkbox is marked in the Payroll Information
tab of the Clients
screen. There are 2 methods you can use to determine the count.Use the payroll period and check date to determine the count
By default, the checkbox isn't marked and the application uses the following criteria to determine if an employee is counted for the quarter being processed:
State unemployment forms
- The employee received a check that's dated within the quarter being processed.
- The payroll period for that check encompasses the 12th day of the month.
941 forms
- The employee received a check that's dated within the quarter being processed. (For 943 forms, the check needs to be within the period being processed.)
- The payroll period for that check encompasses the 12th day of the 3rd month of that quarter (March, June, September, or December only). For 943 forms, the payroll check needs to be in March of the processing year.
Examples:
Period begin | Period end | Check date | Included? | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
01/11 | 01/24 | 02/01 | SUTA - Yes | Included for the 1st quarter (January employee count), because the payroll period encompasses 01/12 and the check date is within the quarter. |
94x - No | Not included for the 1st quarter, because the payroll period doesn't encompass 3/12. | |||
03/11 | 03/24 | 03/31 | SUTA - Yes | Included for 1st quarter (March employee count), because the check date is in March and the payroll period encompasses 03/12. |
94x - Yes | Included for the 1st quarter, because the payroll period encompasses 3/12 and the check date is within the quarter. | |||
03/01 | 03/15 | 02/28 | SUTA - Yes | Included for 1st quarter (March employee count), because the payroll period encompasses 03/12 and the check date is within the quarter. |
94x - Yes | Included in the 1st quarter, because the payroll period encompasses 3/12 and the check date is within the quarter. | |||
03/11 | 03/24 | 04/01 | SUTA - No | Not included in the 1st quarter (March employee count), because the check date is not in the same quarter. Not included in 2nd quarter (April employee count), because the payroll period encompasses the 12th of a different quarter. |
94x - No | Not included in the 1st quarter (March employee count), because the check date is in the 2nd quarter. Not included in the 2nd quarter (April employee count), because even though the check date is in the 2nd quarter, the payroll period doesn't encompass 6/12. | |||
01/25 | 02/07 | 02/20 | SUTA - No | Not included in 1st quarter (January employee count), because the payroll period doesn’t encompass 01/12. Not included in 1st quarter (February employee count), because the payroll period doesn’t encompass 02/12. |
94x - No | Not included in the 1st quarter (February employee count), because the payroll period doesn’t encompass 3/12. |
