Hello,

I prefer having the Pay Date used rather than the Pay Period Date for
determining the Quarter 941 data. I discovered the setting was using Pay
Period. The warning that changing this setting might skew tabulations made
me change back after trying Pay Date.

Is there a safe way to make this change to Pay Date? I am currently doing a
manual tabulation which defeats using payroll software to a degree. The
software is fine but had I not noticed this discrepancy the 941s would be
out of sync.

Any thoughts? Can I safely change at the year end since all tabulations
will zero?

I did not update and currently use 3.8.5

Thank you.

Dear valued customer,

1. Please backup your data before your change the report option.


2. After you change the report option, you may see tax calculation difference if the pay date and pay period date of your first paycheck are not in the same year,


For example: check# 6001, pay period 12/1/2017 to 12/31/2017, paid on 1/2/2018


By pay period ending date, it is the last paycheck of 2017.
If you use the pay date: It is the first paycheck of 2018.


3. After you change the report option, review the report before you add any new data. If there is any issue, you can switch the report option back. There will be no changes on your data.
