  • 1.  Payroll SS & Medicare Taxes Incorrect with 2 earnings codes, at least 1 is a Covid-19 code and Pretax Deductions

    Posted 04-16-2020 20:51

    I have a client where the SS & Medicare tax does not calculate correct when there are 2 earnings codes on a check and the employee has pre-tax deductions and either 1 or both are FFA  (Covid 19) earnings codes.  I worked with Sage and they could not duplicate. I have provided them documentation.  Sage could not connect with me to see this yet as their WebEx was not working.  I tested on another clients system and I could duplicate the issue.

    Hi Michele, This is a known issue, has been identified by Sage, and has been assigned a defect number. They are awaiting any update by the tax service, the CLAD SPA, for the proper calculations. There is another conversation here that was started last week. If I am the one to post when it’s updated, I will tag you in it.
    In the meantime, the regular pay and emergency leave pay should be processed on separate paychecks.

    "I worked with Sage and they could not duplicate....."

    Wow, very sad that this problem has been around for a couple weeks now Sage tech support could not duplicate.  Here is the KB that @Michelle Taylor is referring to

    I spoke with Richard Sharke.  My clients are running 2 separate payrolls.  On some employee checks they have 2 different FFA (Covid-19) earnings codes.  My client did not know they calculations were incorrect, they called me as 1 of the Medicare and 1 of the SS deductions were negative and they could not process payroll.  Thru much testing I figured it out.  I did not find a KB on this.  Do you know if there is one?
