Why does the Payroll Tax and Payroll Summary Reports by State show different data

 Answer

We would like to inform you that we have investigated both reports and as per our discussion we come to the conclusion that the difference which you see in these two reports is because we are not including the exempt allowance amount in the gross in the Payroll Tax Report, but in Payroll History Report we are including the exempt allowance total amount in the Gross amount.

Now, if you run a report without selecting the state, then the below figures are the same:

• Normal Hrs Total

• Allowance Total (Exempt+NonExempt)

• Overtime Hours Value

But, for Payroll History Report, we are calculating the Exempt Allowance+Non-Exempt Allowance+OvertimeHours Value+Normal Hours Total.

But for Payroll Tax, we calculate the gross by including, NormalHoursTotal+OvertimeHrsTotal+Non-exemptALlowance.

That is why we have a difference in figures.

Now, if you select the state then both reports will give you different figures as Payroll History Report will work as per the member state and the Payroll Tax report will work as per the client state.
