Feature

Starting in Goldenseal payroll software version 4.7, you can enter payroll deductions with a negative amount, when you run the Write Payroll command. That way you can give a credit or refund to an employee, if they overpaid on a past period, or otherwise get money back for taxes previously withheld.

How to Use

To enter an adjustment or credit on a payroll Tax Item, follow these steps:

1. Choose Write Payroll from the Bank menu.
2. Double click on the cell with the incorrect amount (row = employee getting refund, column = deduction or employer tax).
3. Enter an amount for the item you'd like to adjust. It can be negative if it's a credit.
4. Click OK.
5. Continue the payroll process.

NOTE-- If you can't change payroll amounts, choose Preferences from the Options menu, and choose Expenses from the submenu. Turn on the checkbox for Allow Payroll Deduction Changes, then click OK.
