  • I am trying to follow the steps in the "How to set up payroll tax payments and filings" help doc. Step 4 says under Simplify your payroll "Locate Get automatic tax filings and payments", I do not have that anywhere on the page.

  • Hello, Winding down my business for now. I've paid all of the payroll taxes due, and Wave confirms that there are no Accumulating Taxes or Taxes Due. The Wave Payroll Clearing Account balance is zero; however, the Balance Sheet Report still shows a small Payroll Liability. How can I zero this out so I have no liabilities on my balance sheet? Th…

  • Is there any way for a private contractor to enter their own SSN and banking info? As a security measure, I think many would prefer this.

  • We clicked to reinstate the employee however he is still listed as 'dismissed' status. It has been a few days since we attempted to reinstate this employee. Under Employment Status, we see the option to Cancel Reinstatement. Seems to indicate that the reinstatement is pending.. https://i.imgur.com/SHxPVA6.png Emailed support a few days ago but no…

  • I'm new to Wave – just getting set up today. One of my main motives for signing up is finally being able to direct deposit my owner's draw from my business account to my personal account. It's the 21st century, but I'm still banking like it's the 1980s... Midway through Payroll setup I hit the Tax Profile page and I'm stumped. I don't do withhold…

  • Hello, I have a SEP IRA account with Vanguard, and I transfer $xxxx from my company's (C-Corp) funds every month to it. Right now I am categorizing it as Owner Investment / Drawing. Is it the right category? Should I also define anything under the Payroll section? Thanks in advance! Isaac

  • Hi! I am trying to issue an ROE for my employee, which i have used wave to do in the past. However, now in the payroll setup, the ROE authorization says it is inactive, and has been since May. How do I re-activate it? I have a signed agreement still according to the form in Tax Forms.

  • As the title suggests, I am a sole proprietor with a SEP IRA, but I'm not sure how to categorize my contributions to it. My thinking is to put it as an Operating Expense titled SEP IRA. Does this sound right?

  • I've been trying to process my payroll for a couple days now, but the payday shows 01/01/2022 instead of being 12/31/21. I cannot edit pay range (get an "issue calculating payroll) nor pay day (12/31 is an invalid date.) Every past month I've had payday be the last day of the month. Why in this most important month is it shifted to 1/1/22? …

  • Note that if you use payroll in Wave that they have set the default stat holiday days of observance for Christmas Day and Boxing Day on incorrect dates. They should be set to Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th respectively. As a small business many of us are fully staffed on Christmas Eve - the day Wave has chosen to default for observing Christ…

  • We invited one of our employees to be an editor under our new business account, but she's no longer able to receive any emails from WaveApps. We have an old business account that she was also an editor in, but we've already removed her access there since we're already migrating to the new one. She's still not able to receive any email copy nor t…

  • We used the ERC this year, and in Q2 and Q3 Wave filed Form 941 with the IRS indicating that we had an Overpayment (Line 15) and checked the box "Send a refund." However, to my knowledge, I've not seen the refund from either quarter. Is there a way to tell how this refund was made (e.g. direct deposit or mailed check) and if it even was…

  • * I pay contractors quarterly. Your pricing says, "$6 per independent contractor paid". Is that per month? For example, if I pay 4 contractors in January, the extra fee would be $24. Is that correct? * Let's say in February and March I don't pay any contractors, do I now pay $0 in extra fees for that month, EVEN if I plan to pay those co…

When I view the Statement of Earnings for the vendor, the year-to-date value only includes the bill paid via payroll. What steps do I need to take for the first bill to be included in year-to…

  • My employer is paying me in Semi-monthly. But the gross pay amount is always different in each pay check because he is using Wave. The difference is always few dollars to around 20 dollars for me. But my peer has her latest paycheque with almost $200 less in her gross pay. Is this normal? I always have the same gross amount and deduction for every…

I see that I can add a "Wage Adjustment" benefit to the employee but I'm not 100% certain of how this would work. The description states: "Adjustment to payroll wages. Vacation is accrued as per your vacation policy." — but that's not 100…
