2011 FWT & Social Security Rate Changes

Important Details: Social Security Rate Reduction
The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Authorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 signed by President Obama in December includes a one-year reduction in the Social Security payroll tax for all workers. Effective January 1, 2011, the employee portion of the tax is 4.2%. However, the employer portion of the tax is unchanged and will remain at 6.2%. This means that the liabilities for employee and employer portions will not match for tax year 2011.
Employee Impact: New Federal Withholding Tables
The 2011 federal withholding tables do not include the Making Work Pay credit. This credit expired on December 31, 2010, which means that your employees may see an increase in their federal withholding taxes on their 2011 paychecks. For details on the 2011 withholding tables, see Publication 15 on the IRS website.

Image
Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Recently, one of our Reno QuickBooks customers asked about "unapplying" credits in QuickBooks. While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills). So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the "Apply Credits" button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then ...
