Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The payroll register provides information about the wages and salaries paid to employees, including their gross pay, taxes withheld, and other deductions. This information is used to make journal entries to record the wages and salaries expense in the accounting system. Form W-2 and form 941 are related to tax reporting and not directly used to record the expense in the accounting system. The look-back period is used to determine whether an employer is subject to certain tax provisions, but it does not provide information about specific wages and salaries paid.
