Reviewing Wage Adjustments Detail

Access the Wage Adjustment Detail form.

For each selected tax authority, you can review this information:

Taxable wages

Review the amount of wages that are considered taxable. The system derives this number from the Tax History table (F06136) as gross - (excludable + excess). To verify this amount, select the Taxation History Window option. The system displays the taxation history records for all of the employees who are included in the workfile build.

Adjustments

Review the adjusted amount of wages for tax purposes, which is the special handling deductions or benefits that are added to the taxable wages. If the deductions, benefits and accruals (DBA) is tax area-specific, the system also displays those areas and the corresponding amount. To verify this amount, select the Transaction History Window option for the DBA number, and then press Enter. The system displays a window that contains information from either the Employee Transaction History Summary table (F06146) or the Tax Area Transaction History table (F06148).

Adjusted wages

Review the reportable wages for the taxing authority. They consist of taxable wages and the total of the adjustments.

If earned income credits were given to the employees, only the amount of tax appears on the screen. Taxable and adjusted wages are blank for tax type B, and no option line for additional information is provided.

If adjustments that are added to Social Security wages exceed the maximum wage base, the system creates a Social Security adjustment that reverses the adjustment amount.

W-2 Spec Amount

Review the amount for W-2 Special Handling. Per Federal requirement, amounts are printed without commas.

FIT Taxable Wages

Review the amount of wages subject to Federal Income Tax.
