Payroll check error

[digits]

Weekly payroll was run yesterday and the checks were sent direct deposit. Apparently after the payroll was run it was found that one of the sales people was missing an extra bonus. The bonus check was then run and sent direct deposit but the taxes didn't come out so the employee received the gross amount of the bonus instead of the net. I assume that somehow the item was set up as nontaxable.

They have decided not to deduct anything further from the employee and let him have the full gross amount of the bonus. The questions are

1) how to calculate what the pay would have been so an additional tax liability check can be made for a timely deposit

2) how to enter the liability properly so that it appears in the payroll journal so it appears on the quarterly returns.

Thanks

the Type choose Wage, on next scteen choose bonus then next name it Bonus and then choose the payroll expense account. When it is entered on a paycheck, it will take out the taxes based on the TOTAL wages on that paycheck based on amont X frequency (weekly, monthly ect.) to get the anual amount for the tax rate.
To adjust the employee's taxes, use the payroll liability adjustment and choose employee and that employee. Select the payroll tax items for the employee and company and enter the amount for the taxes.
