Help! I cannot enter federal allowances for new employees or change allowances for existing employees.

SOLVED
Posted By

I'm running Sage 100 Contractor 2019 with the latest upgrades for 2020.

So, I go to "5 - Payroll" then "2 - Payroll Processing" then "1 - Employees." After selecting an employee record I go to the calculations tab and I can enter info for the state portion of "Marital" and "Std Allow" but I cannot enter federal info - the boxes are greyed out.

Help!

    Okay, I just looked into this further and just noticed the notification on the bottom that says the federal info is tracked in the W-4 tab. My question now is...do all of the existing employees' federal numbers in the Calculations tab count even though their W-4 tabs are blank or do I need to go and re-enter all of the federal numbers into the W-4 tab?

    Since the IRS made changes to the federal taxes in January, anyone who still has the federal calculation filled out will have their taxes computed accordingly. If they want a change to their taxes, including additional withholding, you will need to fill out the W4. At which point, it doesn't matter what's on the federal item as the only thing the program will look at is the W4. Our program follows all the changes the IRS has for payroll.
