Why are the automatic payroll tax withholdings not calculating on my Payroll Entry task?
AUTOMATIC PAYROLL WITHHOLDINGS ARE NOT WORKING The first question you should ask when troubleshooting Peachtree s automatic payroll tax calculation is, does the payroll calculation work on computers that have Peachtree Complete Accounting 2006, Educational Version, installed outside of the classroom? When students install the software on their own computers, they rarely have an earlier version of Peachtree installed. Usually, the reason why automatic payroll calculation is not working is because an earlier version of Peachtree is installed on the computer. Peachtree Complete Accounting 2006, Educational Version, includes automatic calculation of payroll tax withholdings. In order for this feature to work, earlier versions of Peachtree should be deleted. In Appendix A, Installing the Software, Step 4 (p. 662) includes “If you do not have Standard Setup an option, then you have a previous version of Peachtree installed.” The author suggests that you delete the earlier version.
