The payroll register report is designed to give you a breakdown by check showing all pay types and deductions. The last page is a tax summary of the period reported. It can be run for a given pay date or a pay period such as a week, month, quarter or year. The Journal Report cannot cross over years. Selected dates must be within the same calendar year.

Starting and Ending dates are the actual check dates, NOT the pay period or dates that the employee worked.
For Employee allows you select an individual employee or all.
State Report Format If you have pay in more than one state you must choose which state format to report. The register report varies from state to state. NOTE: This option includes data from all states in a format for the state selected.
Sort Order You may choose from check number, employee ID, or alphabetical.
Include All State Wages If you pay wages in more than one state you may choose to print only the wages for one state. Otherwise the report will include wages from all the states for which there was pay. If you uncheck this box only the wages for the state chosen in State Report Format will be printed.
Print Instructions to Tax Payer will print an extra page with specific instructions for taxes to be paid.
Save Federal and State Deposit Amounts will save the amounts of the tax deposits so when you go to Tax Deposits you do not have to remember or type in the amount of the deposit for the selected period.
Print Complete Payroll Register Prints all employees pay information and total pages.
Print Total Pages Only Will print only the totals pages.
Use Short (Alt.) Format If chosen will print the register in a condensed format.
