How do I enter employees' beginning balances?

You can enter beginning payroll balances for an employee at any time. Select Payroll from the Main Menu and choose Employee Payroll Setup. Click on the Edit button for the selected employee. Click on the button beside the Beginning Balance under "Pay Group"

 

You will now enter the beginning balances on the appropriate line under the Starting amounts column. The balances should be the year-to-date payroll totals from your previous payroll system so that these can be added to the payrolls you complete in TaxSlayer Books and the combined payroll totals can be reflected on the employee's annual W2. In the Ending Balance Date field, identify the date of the payroll totals entered.
