Mary Paul,
I suspect that you were using a version before the new PR Tax Tables. The law changed where the employee and employer contributions changed percentages. Because of this change we had to change the software as well. When you go to the Accounting-Payroll-Tax Tables-Federal you will now see there are 2 boxes for the Fica. One for the Employee and one for the employer. When you simply zero the Employee portion from Pay Calculation screen, Farm Works is still calculating the Employer Share.
If you do not want the software to calculate any Fica or Medicare then follow these steps:
1. Go to the Input Tab (right of the Red Barn)
2. Open People.
3. Right click on first employee name and select Properties.
4. Select the Payroll Tab.
5. Place checkmarks in the boxes for Exempt Fica and Exempt Medicare ( any other withholding that you do not deduct). Click OK.
6. When you run the Pay Calculation again those accounts will be grayed out and will not have to zero anything.
This will keep the Employer portion from calculating as well.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Kathy Cline,
