Alabama 2022 Tax Table Updates

Alabama’s withholding guide was updated to incorporate changes from a bill increasing the state’s standard deductions.

The bill increases the maximum standard deductions by $1,000 for individuals who are married filing jointly and by $500 for other filing statuses. The bill also changes the thresholds for the state’s dependent exemptions, allowing an exemption of $1,000 per dependent if an individual’s annual income is up to $50,000, instead of $20,000, and an exemption of $500 if income is more than $50,000 and up to $100,000.

To support the state updates, this release applies changes to the following screens:

• Manage State Taxes (PRMSTI)

• Manage State Standard Deductions (PRMSSD)

• Manage State Tax Withholding Adjustments (PRMSTAC)

• Manage State Tax Tables (PRMSTT)

Note: This enhancement requires patch dbc_800_10899.

The 8.0.22 MR installer has been updated to include the latest quarterly patch release for WebLogic 12.2.1.4.

• April 2022 SPB - p34080315_122140_Generic.zip

Also, the Java Development Kit (JDK) has been upgraded to version 1.8.0_331 and is installed with the Costpoint 8.0.22 MR installer.

A draft version of Form 941 for use in the second to fourth quarters of 2022 was issued April 14 by the Internal Revenue Service. The draft Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, was updated to remove lines pertaining to the COBRA premium assistance credit. The credit expired in September but could still be claimed by some employers on Form 941 for the first quarter of 2022.

The structure of the draft form indicates that the form is expected to be used for each of the remaining quarters of 2022. In the list of check boxes indicating the quarter for which the form is to be filed, the boxes for the second to fourth quarters of 2022 are blank. Only the box for the first quarter is grayed out.

Lines 11e, 11f, and 13f were labeled “Reserved for future use” on the draft form. Line 11e previously reported the nonrefundable portion of the COBRA premium assistance credit, Line 11f reported the number of individuals receiving assistance, and Line 13f reported the nonrefundable portion of the credit.

Line 11g, which reports the total amount of nonrefundable credits, was updated to remove a reference to Line 11e. Similarly, Line 13g, which reports the total amount of refundable credits, was updated to remove a reference to Line 13f.
