Webinar: Step 7A-C. Update tax year, FWT, SWT (09m00s)

If you have printed all payroll reports for the tax year AND you have updated all transactions for the tax year to the General Ledger, there are three steps to complete. First, you’ll close the current payroll year. Closing the payroll year means the transactions in the closed year will be locked. Next, you’ll update the new federal tax rates and last, you'll update the state tax rates. When you’re done, the Payroll application will be ready to go for the new payroll year.
