Business Works 2019 Federal/State Withholding Wrong

SUGGESTED

We use a payroll service as part of our Nonprofit requirement.  I match our Sage Business Works Number to their numbers.  Ever since January 2020 none of the numbers for federal or California withholding match.  The Sage numbers are all lower than the Payroll Service Numbers.  Is there a patch or a problem with the Sage Business Works 2019 update for the year 2020?  This has never happened with all employees every single paycheck.

    DArgano-

    To be on the most current tax tables you need to install V2020.  There is no update for V2019 for the 2020 tax tables.  There was a big change to the 2020 with the W-4 that affects the tax tables, and that change could not be incorporated into just a service pack and had to be programmed only into the new version and versions going forward.

    Also, you may also want to refer to our Knowledge Base (www.SageKB.com) for article How Federal withholding tax (FWT) and state withholding tax (SWT) are calculated (19489) .  This example how we calculate those taxes.  Note:  We use the annualized tax tables.
