LOCAL TAX TABLES  

Use this screen to establish and maintain the local income tax withholding tax rates that will be used to withhold local income taxes from the employee's paycheck. The computed tax is Base Tax Plus + Percent of Excess.

These tables must be current before you process the first payroll of the new calendar (payroll) year. To modify information for an Effective Date that already exists, use Query to retrieve the record, and then change the applicable line information. To add information for an Effective Date that does not exist, select the New Line button on the toolbar and enter the new record.

Locality

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the six-character locality code that identifies the locality. The locality name will display to the right of this code.

Effective Date

Enter the date when this tax becomes effective. Pay periods having a pay cycle end date the same as, or later than, the Effective Date will use the related tax table rates.

Filing Status

Select the Filing Status that applies to the information to be entered. Valid options are "Both," "Head of Household," "Married," "Misc Status 1," "Misc Status 2," "Misc Status 3," "Misc Status 4," and "Single." Separate tables are maintained for each status.

Table Window

This column displays the amount of base tax at each level.
