NEW HIRE ACT - no adjustments for 1st quarter wages paid?

US Desktop Payroll : Enhanced 2009

I have followed the QB Guide for the New Hire Act, but am somewhat concerned as to why a payroll liability adjustment is not needed for the wages that are paid in Quarter 1 to eligible employees.  I was trying to create a zero balance due return, so I reduced my payment for June taxes by the QTR1 credit.  Without making a payroll liability adjustment, my  QTR1 credit shows up as a balance due in the "Pay Scheduled Liabilities" box.  When I make a payroll liability adjustment and date it with a QTR2 date, it makes it go away.  Alternatively, for my clients that are taking a refund - won't they have a GL/PR liability discrepancy until the refund is posted?  Maybe the fact that the employees payroll record overstates their company Social Security tax is not a problem?

Any thoughts?

The law states that the benefit of the exemption for any eligible wages paid during March 2010 will be reflected as a credit on the 941 for the second quarter.

IRC §3111(d)(5)

There is no effect on the first quarter 941.

If you use Pro Series Basic I might not be able to help you. If you use Turbo Tax I might refuse to help you. All others, watch out! ;-)

In response to Accountant man, I understand that it is a credit on the 2nd quarter 941, I don't understand why you would not want to make the underlying employee records agree with the total tax that you are paying.

You can want what you like, and you can probably create a JE on 03/31 to record the credit that you will be getting in July for the 2nd qtr, but the law is the law.

The credit because of the 03/31 qualifying wages is reducing the taxes due for the 2nd qtr. It is not a credit for taxes due for the 1st qtr.
