SIMPLE IRA Payroll Pre-Tax Contributions not reflected in the Tax Planner, or anywhere in the tax planner, ( This may be for both Self or Spouse, but in my case it only relates to Spouse ) This results in an overstatement of taxable income and estimated tax by whatever marginal tax rate applies. Any insight into this issue?
SIMPLE IRA pre-tax contributions in payroll are treated like 401k contributions for tax purposes and on the employee W2. In the Tax Planner 401k employee contributions have always appeared as negative payroll amounts in the tax planner. This has been the case for as long as I can remember, which is a very long time.
I have the SIMPLE IRA account setup as 'Tax Deferred' and the 'Account Type' drop down has 'SIMPLE IRA" selected. The Tax Schedule item for 'Transfer to This Account' is set to "Form 1040: SIMPLE contribution spouse"
In the Payroll Reminder and all posted Payroll Transactions, the SIMPLE IRA for my spouse's contributions are in the "Pre-Tax" section.
NOTE: earlier this year there was an issue with Spouse Wages not correctly showing scheduled transactions, which was fixed via update about 5-6 months ago.
