Since your accountant is figuring the deductions you can easily track the payroll in Peachtree 2012. Go through the payroll setup wizard (Maintain > Default Information > Payroll Settings) and take the "Do it yourself" option. This will set up payroll fields for all of the standard taxes, and whatever deductions you choose. When you finish the wizard, go to Maintain > Default Information > Employees. On the Employee Fields tab and the Company Fields tab, uncheck the "Calc" box for each of the taxes. That will prevent Peachtree from trying to calculate those taxes which would result in an error since you don't have payroll tax tables. If, in the wizard, you set up other fields such as vacation/sick tracking, or Simple IRA you can leave the calc box checked on those lines since those formulas are in the User Maintained tax table. Or you can uncheck them too if you want to manually enter those numbers. Now you'll be able to enter checks through Tasks > Payroll Entry. When entering payroll remember that employ ee taxes need to be entered as negative numbers but employ er taxes need entered as positive numbers.
