Check Register History

This report will print a register of employee checks by employee number.

You may limit the report by cash account, date range, employee number range and check number range.

Pay information included on this report is the employee’s number and name, the check type, check date, pay period date, the check gross, total tax amount taken from the check, total amount of deductions taken from the check, the employee’s net pay and tips/meals amount.

A subtotal is printed for each employee showing total gross pay, total taxes, total deductions, and total tips/meals amount.

When you are using the direct deposit electronic payment method it prints a transaction number and direct deposit transactions are indicated by a "T" next to the transaction number. A payment to an employee can be split between a check and a direct deposit transaction. Split pay are indicated with an "*" next to the check number. There is no transaction number for a split payment.

Grand totals are printed for the range of checks printed on the report.

See a Payroll Register History report example in the Form and Report Examples appendix.

Workers’ Compensation Reports

Use this selection to print either of the three Workers' Compensation report types; Premium, Pay or History.

All three types can be printed by either a range of pay period dates or check dates. They can also be printed by a range of employees using either employee number or employee name. Here are some of the differences:

Premium

The Premium type shows the estimated workers’ compensation premiums. The report is printed by workers’ compensation code so that estimated premiums for one type of work are shown together. For security purposes only the last 4 digits print of the social security number print on the report. The first five digits are replaced with asterisks.

Pay

The Pay type shows employee hours, pay, overtime hours, overtime base and overtime premium and special pay by quarter. It can be printed with or without check detail. It can be grouped by workers' compensation code or department. When entering specific dates it is restricted to a maximum of three years of data. The totals are grouped by quarter with a grand total for each year.

When printing the Pay type report and when grouping by Workers' compensation code, in order for the employee's workers' compensation data to print, the Work Comp class field in Employee's (Enter) must have a value at the time the payment is calculated.

For both reports:

Overtime pay hours are reported using the Regular rate.
Special pay uses the special pay rate to determine the Workers' comp pay.
As a supplemental earning does not have a rate, when both regular hours and supplemental pay are on the same check, the average rate is calculated and added to the Regular rate. If only supplemental pay is on the check, no rate is reported. The premium is based on the Workman's comp gross.

History

The Payroll history by WC code report combines data from Payroll time worked history and adjustment history.

Earlier in 2020 an e-mail was sent by Passport recommending that Workers' Compensation codes of COL for Family Leave and COS for Sick Leave, entered as special pay, to be used for accumulating COVID-19 amounts. This report is intended on providing the amounts. The data is recorded in history and will print on this report.

If you have not done this and you have amounts to report, you must use a manual method to determine the amounts for 941 reporting.

Whether you used the Workers' Comp codes or you are using a manual method of tracking the Family Leave and Sick Leave amounts, enter the amounts on the 941 Prep. Report screen.

You should print this report using a date range for a quarter of the year being reported. Use the check date range.

For field by field instructions, see the Payroll History by WC Code Report below.

941 Prep. Report

This report helps you to prepare a 941 Quarterly Report and a 941 Schedule B. The 941 form is the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return.

The instructions for filling out the 941 form are available online from IRS: http://www.irs.gov.

In addition to printing the report, there is an option to export XML data that can be opened into a PDF form of the 941 and 941 Schedule B.

The address that prints on the report and gets generated in the PDF merge file comes from Payroll Control information. In the case of the PDF merge file address line 3 is NOT used because the form only allows for printing 2 address lines. So, you should put city, state and zip in address line 2. See the address fields in Control Information.

Some of the data for this report is being taken from Payroll files. Other data must be entered manually on the 941 Prep. report screen. Some of the 941 PDF fields are not included for entry. If needed you must enter this data manually on the PDF file fields.

COVID-19 Reporting

As of July 2020, the 941 Prep report and matching 941 PDF form file have been altered for COVID-19 reporting. Be sure to install the latest hot fix or update to use this version of the report and PDF file.

The 941 screen entry and PDF output have changed from previous version, even if you do not have COVID-19 data to report.

Other Fields

There are new entry fields for COVID-19 reporting for qualified sick leave, qualified family leave and three others. You may enter these on the 941 screen.

However, as of the second quarter 2020, 941 PDF fields 13b through 13g and fields 17 through 23 and field 25 are new fields and these amounts are not entered on the PBS 941 report screen and they are not calculated in the program. If you require data for any of these fields, you must enter it manually on the Form 941 PDF after the report XML data is generated. Be aware that entering data in these fields could affect totals and you will have to update totals as required.

Select

941 Prep. report from the Reports, General menu.

This report allows you to prepare a 941 Quarterly report and 941 Schedule B. The design of this report is to reference the input fields from the report creation screen to the fields in the report and the 941 form.

Create 941 PDF merged form ?

Enter Y to create a form that merges with a 941 PDF. It merges PDF data with an xml form of the 941 data. Not all data is merged into the PDF file. You must enter the remaining data in the PDF, as needed.

The location of the form is in the PDFFORMS folder located under the top-level PBS.

If you select N, the next two fields are skipped and you can only print the report.

Whether you select Y or N, you must print the report regardless.

       Note 

Each year the 941 form changes, even if the only change is the year at the top of the form. The PDF form, provided by PSI, was originally provided by IRS. Check with IRS web site to verify that you have the latest version. Here is a location where the form may be found:

http://www.irs.gov/uac/Forms,-Publications,-and-Other-Tax-Products

If the form changes, the program printing this report will likely need to change as well. Look for an update from PBS.

Name of PDF form to be merged

This field is skipped if you selected N to Create 941 PDF merged form ?

This is the name of the PDF file. It is recommended that you use the default of f941_2020_2_4.pdf.

Name of xpd to be created

This field is skipped if you selected N to Create 941 PDF merged form ?

This is the name of the xml file that contains the data to be merged into the PDF file.

You may use the default file name, which is f941_data_2020_2_data.

The file gets generated as the last step of printing this report. See Open the XDP Files and Edit

Filing Schedule B (Form 941) this quarter ?

Selecting Y for this field prints a second page with the 941 Schedule B information. This may be used if you are a Semiweekly Schedule Depositor. See the Form 941 Schedule B IRS instructions to see if this applies to you.

       Note 

The data for Schedule B is printing from Payroll history. The data for the standard Form 941 report is from Quarter-to-date history.

Due to rounding, the Quarter tax liability total on the Schedule B may not match line 10 on the Form 941. When this happens, this message displays on the screen: Form 941 Schedule B total liability for the quarter does not equal line 10 for Form 941.

Also, near the bottom of Schedule B, you will see something like this printed: Form 941 Schedule B total liability for the quarter exceeds Form 941 line 10 by $0.02.

The difference should be minor. To make them the same, you may enter the difference in Current qrtr fractions of cents adj. (line 7). See the IRS 941 instructions for entering this field.

Create 941sb PDF merged form ?

Enter Y to create a form that merges with a 941 Schedule B PDF file. It allows you to merges PDF data with an xml form of the 941 Schedule B data. You may have to enter additional data in the PDF.

The location of the form is in the PDFFORMS folder located under the top-level PBS.

If you select N, the next two fields are skipped and you can only print the 941 Schedule B report.

Whether you select Y or N, you must print the report regardless.

Name of PDF form to be merged

This field is skipped if you selected N to Create 941sb PDF merged form ?.

This is the name of the PDF file. It is recommended that you use the default of f941sb.

Name of xpd to be created

This field is skipped if you selected N to Create 941sb PDF merged form ?.

This is the name of the xml file that contains the data to be merged into the PDF file.

You may use the default file name, which is f941sb_data. However, you may want to change the file name to reflect the company, year and quarter. You may enter up to 20 characters. Here is an example:

XYZCompany-2020-1sb

The file gets generated as the last step of printing this report1

Any change ?

Enter Y to make changes or press <Enter> to accept the default of N to continue.

The Company address comes from Payroll Control information.

The Printer selection screen will display. Choose to print the 941 Preparation Report to a Company information printer, Windows printer, Print to disk or Display on the screen.

Open the XDP Files and Edit

When the program finishes printing or displaying the report data, the f941.xdp file is generated. A message displays letting you know that the file or files have been created and the names of the files. Here is an example when both files are created:

PDFFORMS folder

In order to open either xdp file, you must first navigate to the PDFFORMS folder in the top-level PBS. The f941_data.xdp file and f941sb_data.xpd file are both located there. If you have a previous xdp file open from another quarter, close it before you open the new generated version. If you do not, you run the risk of merging data from 2 quarters.

Open either xdp file by double-clicking on it. Add data and edit data as needed. After editing the data, you may save the PDF file with a different name. It is recommended to enter a PDF file name to reflect the Name of the company, Year and Quarter . Here are two examples:

XYZCompany-2023-1.PDF
