W-2 pulling the wrong amount for FICA
Description of Issue
We are exempt from paying FICA taxes and I have five employees that are generating a small amounts of FICA on to their W-2s.
Context
- Munis
- W-2 Processing
Cause
Deduction refund was issued on a deduction code that is defined with W-2 code T - Dependent Care.
Resolution
- Access Employee W-2 and 1099-R: Payroll > W-2 and 1099-R Processing > Employee W-2 and 1099-R
- Click Define enter the reporting year > Click W-2
- Search for the employee click Update >Â enter the appropriate amount for FICA
- Click Accept
Additional Information
If employees exceed the dependent care limit, this amount will be added to FICA. If an employee has a negative amount in the yearly accumulators for deductions that are defined with W-2 Code T - Dependent Care, the positive amount will also be added to FICA. Manual adjustment to the W-2 and employee accumulators will be required.
