The 4th quarter 941 shows line 5a, Taxable Social Security Wages, overstated by $4800 even.  The "Subject to" report for the quarter shows the correct number.  All the other wage and tax numbers on the 941 are correct.  Oh, and the schedule B liability numbers are correct, even though the tax liability is overstated on the 941.
 
I don't find any way to see the detail of the calculations on the 941, so I can't tell where the $4800 is coming from.  Any ideas?
 
We keep a spreadsheet listing the taxable wage categories and the tax liabilities generated for each payroll, as an aid to making payroll tax deposits.  This is how we caught the overstated FICA/SS wages.
 
The payroll register does not list a FICA/SS wage number, so we have to back into it, subtracting Sec 125 pretax items.  That works OK until someone goes over the FICA/SS wage limit, then it is tough.
 
Is there any report that shows YTD FICA/SS taxable wages paid?

Thanks,

No, we have no advanced EIC employees.

That makes perfect sense.  Thank you!
