FAQ

Can I show a housing allowance on W2s?

Yes. You may wish the housing allowance to appear in a specific box on the W2, for example, the box for “other”. If you are using Procare W2 / 1099 Software, you can manually edit W2s for that person as needed. Contact your tax adviser or the IRS to determine how the information should be reported.

How can I tell if I have the most current tax tables?

From the Procare Home screen, go to Configuration > System > Accounting Management > Payroll > dbl-click Payroll Formulas. At the Payroll Formulas screen, choose either the Federal or State category (top left). On the right-hand side of the screen you’ll see a Start Date which indicates the effective date. In most cases this will be January of the current year. Mid-year changes will show a date after January 1st.
