Subject -to Employer report does not match Quarterly Wage Report

Question

The subject-to employer and the quarterly wage and tax report total tax due amounts do not match. The 'subject-to' total and the 'taxable wages this quarter' total are the same. Which tells me that it has something to do with the rate. The wage report seems to be correct based on the subject-to total multiplied by the 'taxable wages'. But, I'm not sure where the Subject-to Employer report rate comes from. Is there a way to fix this and reprint this report for 1st quarter subject-to employer? Thanks!

Good Afternoon! 
 If you find that your tax rate which calculated in your software is incorrect, you can determine what the tax amount should be by downloading the report attached to kcs article # 21156. 
 incorrect tax amounts can be caused by not closing the payroll year before you process the first check for the current year. The subject to amounts would not have calculated correctly, if later on you run Recalculate Subject to, it would correct the Subject to amounts however not the tax. Another cause of incorrect tax amounts can be incorrect rates, or incorrect limits. 
 The report is a great tool for you to use to determine what the tax should have been. You can then make manual adjustments on a physical check, or adjust the Aatrix tax report. 
 I hope this helps!

 Were you able to download the report? If so you'll save it to your Reports folder. Then using Report Manager in Payroll add the report to your reports menu. KCS # 17087, has the steps for adding a report to your menu. 
 If you tried to run the report without saving it and adding it to the menu it wouldn't run.
