US Payroll Legislative Update for 3rd Quarter 2026 Negative Wages Handling for Federal Taxes

in Payroll and Global Payroll Interface (GPI)

Summary:

We would appreciate some additional clarification on this. Could anyone provide more context or elaborate on what this means?

USOPTE will now generate negative gross and negative exempt balances for the following Federal taxes:

FIT

FUTA

Social Security EE and ER

Previously USOPTE payroll calculations were setting these federal level balances to zero.

Thanks
