This figure includes: Personal exemptions for self and spouse not claimed on other Form IT-4. Exemptions for dependents. If the employee did not submit Form IT-4, enter zero in this field.

Automatically Calculated Variables

Deltek automatically computes the Allowance, which is used in determining the net income tax.

Allowance

The Allowance is based on the number of exemptions entered in the first Exemptions field. It is determined by multiplying the number of exemptions by $650.

How Deltek Calculates Tax

To calculate an employee's Ohio State tax, Deltek does the following:

1. Multiplies the employee's gross pay per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year to determine annualized gross wages.
2. Subtracts the employee's Allowance and any 401(k) and 125/Cafeteria plan contributions from the employee's annualized gross wages to determine taxable income.
3. Calculates the net income tax by applying Tax Calculation Method 1 to the taxable income.
4. Divides the net income tax by the number of pay periods in a year to determine the amount to be withheld for the pay period.
