Problem
State totals not showing up on W-2 form printed
from MacNail Construction
Payroll Software
Some items not showing up on payroll files when using 'update payroll files'.
Diagnosis
Did they first get payroll blank in in 1991 or earlier?
Early payroll blanks are lacking some defined names that tell it where certain tax totals are located.
This may conceivablely be a problem with some '92 blanks, but it's much less likely to be a problem with
them.
Solution
Easiest solution is to send them a new 93 payroll blank and have them trash all the current
payroll files and start over with the new blanks. In theory we should charge $20 for this but if you want to
be nice and send it no charge, go ahead.
Can also define name on the payroll files and/or payroll blank. The total cell under the MA tax (or other
state tax) column should be defined as state.total. Medical deductions are med.total, 'other' deductions are
other.total, Disability is dbl.total, Local taxes are local.total
The new 3.4 'update payroll file' command, unlike previous versions, REQUIRES certain defined
names so it can get the right values.
'93 payroll blanks DEFINITELY have all required defined names
'92 blanks SHOULD have all required defined names (unless we slipped)
'91 blanks PROBABLY will be missing some defined names
'90 blanks will definitely be missing all defined names and should NOT be used Comments
