Why are the taxable wages (and tax withheld) incorrect?

1 min. readlast update: 08.09.2022

There are several reasons the taxable wages could be incorrect:

  1. Is the employee’s Tax screen set to withhold additional money for FWT or SWT? Review the employee’s tax screen (KE0015) on the Employee Record (KE0001).
  2. Is the Earnings Code set up to Block Additional Taxes. (Review the Earnings Code on KE0038.)
  3. Are the deductions or benefits for this employee set up correctly for taxation? Review the tax exempt flags on the Deduction/Benefit Maintenance Screen (KE0299) (Other Payroll Functions -> Payroll Cycle Reports).
