You do not need to enter status or withholding information for residents of Pennsylvania on the Withholding grid on the Payroll tab of the Employees hub:

Field	Description

To calculate an employee's Pennsylvania 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 any contributions to 125/Cafeteria plans from gross wages to yield taxable income.
3. Applies Tax Calculation Method 2 to the gross wages using a fixed percentage of 3.07% to determine the net income tax.
4. Divides the annual income tax by the number of pay periods in a year to determine the amount to be withheld for the pay period.
