UAW / RCS Financial Reminders

Weekly
1)  Create vouchers (payable & payroll), print & post checks.
2)  Tax deposits (state & federal).  From the Main Menu select 4) Misc. Reports then select 3) Federal Tax Report.  For LM purposes, it is very important to use the proper accounts for taxes forwarded.  The employer portion of the FICA taxes belong on a separate line from the employee portion forwarded.  With that said, we make it easy!  Just create the voucher exactly as printed on the Federal Tax Report.
