Payroll taxes

[Ken412]

if I run a sales summary for 1/1/24 to 12/31/24, it tells me tips are $309,947. If I add up my 4 quarterly 941’s the total tips are $278,798. No one has been able to explain the difference to me. Any help?

The discrepancy between your Sales Summary report and the total tips from your quarterly 941s could be due to several factors.
The Payroll Export report is static and reflects data based on closed and completed shift reviews at the time it was generated, while the Labor and Sales Summary reports in Toast Web are updated in real-time and are based on closed check information.
If a check is edited or a payment is completed outside of a shift review, this would show on the real-time Labor and Sales Summary reports but not in the static Payroll Export report, leading to discrepancies. Try reviewing any edits or payments completed outside of shift reviews to identify the difference.
