However, the software does not determine the eligibility of employees to receive these credits. Nor does it track any limits on wages paid using the Covid-19 wage type. If there are limits on the rate of pay, weekly totals, or number of hours, you must observe those limits when categorizing the wages under the Covid-19 wage type.  \nOn the Federal Form 943, there are two categories of Covid-19 wage types that need separate totals. These are:  \nLine 2a, Qualified Sick Leave Wages  \n(See reference that follows regarding definition)  \nLine 2b, Qualified Family Leave Wages  \n(See reference that follows regarding definition)  \nBest practice for setup in Datatech software is to have a separate wage type for each type. For Farm and Farm Labor cost accounting, you can also use the same wage type but a different Job ID.  \nThe new 943 form also provides for taking credits for wages paid under the Employee Retention Credit provisions. The program does not track these wages, but if you have paid wages under this provision, and you have used awage type specifically set up for it, you can get a report of those wages using the labor analysis report.  \nNonrefundable vs. Refundable Credits  \nAny credits up to the amount of the Employer Social Security tax portion will be counted as a Nonrefundable credit. This amount will be applied to the Total Amount of Taxes Due.  \nAny credits due over the amount of Employer Social Security will be applied as credits/payments to the Total Taxes Due.  \nThis will be discussed further in the instructions below.  \nCompleting Form 943  \nThe new 943 form is more complicated, due to the breakdown of the Covid- 19 wages, as well as the tax credits you need to calculate. We have provided all of the entries that are needed for the form, but we cannot provide advice on how to fill it out. The IRS has a publication to assist with this, and that publication provides a worksheet for calculating the wage credits, which include the wages paid, any prorated health insurance benefits you paid, and the Medicare tax. [https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i943.pdf](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i943.pdf)  \nIn order to determine the qualified wages, the program must know what wage types you have used for the Qualified Sick Leave and Qualified Family Leave. The program uses the information in the Sick Leave table to figure this out when you click on the Verify button. If it can’t, you can enter the wage types that you have set up.  \nIf you have not set up any wage types for the leave wages paid, the program cannot calculate the total wages. You will need to do this yourself, and then edit the 943 form lines 2a and 2b to adjust the totals.  \nWhat the program does:  \nIf you have used specific wage types for the Covid-19 leave payments, the program will calculate these totals for lines 2a and 2b. They are listed separately from other social security wages on these lines because they are not subject to the employer portion of social security.  \nWhat the program does not do:  \nYou must take the total Covid-19 leave wages on these two lines and transfer to the Worksheet 1. They will be combined with the employer portion of Medicare (calculated on the worksheet) and the employer’s portion of any health insurance benefits for the time the employees were on leave (you must calculate the health insurance credit) .  \nYou will then take the total of the non-refundable credits and enter on line 12a and 12b of the 943, and any refundable credits on line 14d.  \nIf you need assistance with the worksheet, please contact your accountant. Datatech support personnel cannot assist with this worksheet, or any other data that is required on Form 943 that you ne","cbCaileDedzxTI7x","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaileDedzxTI7x","pdf",533027,"English","# Background\n# Nonrefundable vs. Refundable Credits\n# Completing Form 943\n## What the program does\n## What the program does not do\n# Specific Instructions\n## Step 1","[{\"question\":\"How does the software determine totals for Form 943 lines 2a and 2b?\",\"answer\":\"It calculates totals only when you have used specific wage types for the Covid-19 qualified sick leave and qualified family leave payments.
