w2 witholdings do not payroll summary reports for withholdings2020

SUGGESTED

for like the last 3 or 4 clients, when we are going thru the print w2s verification (where you balance those amounts to the 941s AND the yearly earnings report, the WH , SS, and MC deductions on the employees  DO NOT match the deductions on the yearly earnings report (which is correct).  We can manually override to correct amounts, but some of our clients have 50 or better employees.  I've been a Sage user since the 90s, (the old Peachtree name), and have never had a problem,  I already have to rename about every other company to be able to even get the 941 to open after they added the cares act popup; question.

This is unbelievable!

    Our suggestion would be that you review the ADJUST settings on Federal, FICA, and Medicare Payroll fields, for both Employee and Employer, to confirm that they are properly configured for your pre and post-tax deductions, i.e. Insurance, 401k, etc. Check this first in the Maintain, Default Information, Employees, and then a second time in Maintain, Employees/Sales Reps, as you may have some Employees who aren't utilizing default settings. This has been the most common reason why the Yearly Earnings Report and the 941 do not match. What a lot of people do not realize is that the Yearly Earnings Report is what we call an "actual report" because it reflects what was actually deducted during a Payroll run, while the 941 is what we call a "calculated report" because its values are calculated at the time of running, and as you have found, these values may not match what is on the Yearly Earnings Report.
