NYS45 Column D totals do not match NY SIT taxable wages



Description of Issue
  • I have employees who received the Covid Healthcare Workers Bonus (HWB), which is exempt from NY State income tax. My Column D total still includes that payment as taxable wage. 

  • Colum D totals don't match Accumulators for deduction 4000. 

  • Column D totals don't match SIT Accumulators



Context
  • Payroll

  • New York

  • NY NYS-45 Report



Cause

Column D is federal gross wages and shouldn't be expected to match NY SIT taxable wages.



Resolution

The Column D total is a sum of amounts in the Employee Gross field in Employee Accumulators where: 

  • Frequency = Quarterly

  • Cycle = the defined quarter on the NYS-45 report

  • Pay/Deduction code is between 3000 and 3010 (FIT deduction gross).
