Configuration of the employer file editor's Taxation tab determines how the paycheck values are taxed.

Employer Taxation Tab

Hint:Configuring the Visible Fields tab first may simplify the input by reducing the number of inputs that must be configured.

Each of the inputs are discussed below:

# of Paychecks/Year

Enter the number of regular paychecks the employer pays per year. If an employer has summer pay (or deferred pay), do not include the summer paychecks in this number.

Withholding Tax Table

Enter the withholding table used by the employer. Normally this will correspond with the # of Paychecks/Year; but in some cases it may be different. For example, an employer paying 13 times per year may use monthly tables (select Monthly), or they may annualize the 13 pay periods (select Payroll Periods).

Number of Local Taxes

If local taxes are visible, this prompt will be enabled. Enter the number of local withholding taxes (e.g. county tax, worker's comp, etc.).  A local tax will show in the Tax Configuration list for each local tax item.

There are four types of tax editors that can be configured.  Each item is discussed below.

1.FICA and Medicare Tax

2.Additional Income

3.State Withholding Tax

4.Local Taxes
