Periodic Tax Data Subtask

Use this subtask to manually enter specific state and local tax data for submission to CTS.

After you create a Periodic or Quarterly tax file, the Create CTS Tax File Data screen reads the appropriate table to determine whether data is assigned to a particular CTS Client ID for the period or quarter being reported and, if so, includes that data in the file.

You can also use this subtask to include the COBRA premium credit amount information when you generate the CTS Periodic Tax file.

Field Description
Effective Date

Specify the date to which the periodic tax data applies.

This date, along with the CTS client ID, is used to trigger the creation of Third-Party Sick Pay, Nebraska Advantage Wage Credit, COBRA Premium Credit, Guam COBRA Premium Credit, Puerto Rico COBRA Premium Credit, and/or Virgin Islands COBRA Premium Credit records in the Periodic CTS Tax File. If the date falls within the Periodic Paycheck Date Range specified in the Create CTS Tax File Data screen and the tax amount specified in the record is not equal to zero, that tax amount is reported for the CTS client ID.

The effective date must be unique within the Periodic Tax Data table.
