COVID wages on W2

Question

Client running W2s - it appears that any COVID wages (setup with proper Tax Rule as designated by Sage documentation) are not being included in Medicare/SS wages. When viewed in Sage 100, the wages show under the OTHER, not the std SS/Mcare. I ASSUMED (ha ha ha) that they would be added together for the W2 purposes. Alas, client is getting error about numbers being different and it looks like she will have to manually fix. If clients had lots of COVID wages, this is going to be fun times.

Totally my fault - checked client version and interpreted 2.20.1 as 2.21 and assumed (YES, I ASSUMED - ARGH) they were on the most recent version.

Please call into support on this issue. I have just gone through the entire W-2 process with Payroll Update 2.21.0 and Social Security Wages and Medicare wages are correct in both the grid and the W-2 when printed out. The W-2 grid matched the Federal Totals page on the Quarterly tax report, which shows the Covid Wages separately. Social Security Wages plus the Covid Wages on the Quarterly tax report equal the total Social Security Wages on the W-2.
