Summary

The Quarterly Wage report is used to complete the quarterly 941’s. The Quarterly Wage Report displays the paycheck amounts during the selected quarter and the taxable wages of those paychecks.

You can view this information on a single employee using the History tab of the Employee Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Employee> History tab).
