Premiums are paid on wages up to the Federal Social Security Wage Cap. Employers are required to begin these premium deductions on January 1, 2023.

Indiana Withholding Tax Updates (Phase 1): Track the Number of Adopted Children
Effective October 1, 2022, the state’s Departmental Notice No. 1 was updated to add a third deduction constant table for a new exemption for adopted children. The $3,000 annual exemption for adopted children was added in the legislation. Form WH-4, Employee’s Withholding Exemption and County Status Certificate, was also updated to include the adopted child exemption.
Currently, there is no field in Costpoint that can store and track the adopted child exemptions throughout Costpoint payroll. To be able to deduct this exemption when Costpoint calculates the state and local withholding amount, you must:
Take note of the number of adopted child dependent exemptions claimed on line 7 of Form WH-4 and multiply the number by 2.
Add the result to the value in the Dependents field on the Manage Employee Taxes screen.
The actual number of adopted child dependent exemptions claimed on line 7 of Form WH-4 will be tracked in a new information-only field, Actual number of adopted children. This field was added to the following screens in Costpoint:
Manage Employee Taxes
Manage Employee Information
View Employee Taxes
State Withholding
Life Events/New Hires
Costpoint will be able to use the Actual number of adopted children field information during database conversion of the new fields for adopted child dependent exemptions that will be added later throughout payroll processing.
The Actual number of adopted children field will be enabled for State of Indiana only.
Manage Employee Taxes Data Setup for Indiana
To comply with the state requirements, you must use the following data setup on the Manage Employee Taxes screen for Indiana employees:
Field
Instructions
Withholding State Filing Status
All Filers (All Filers, Married and Single): Select as the filing status for all employees.
State Withholding Exemptions
Enter the number of personal exemptions the employee is claiming on line 5 of the employee's Form WH-4.
State Withholding Dependents
Enter the number of additional dependent exemptions the employee is claiming on line 6 of the employee's Form WH-4.
If the employee is claiming adopted child dependent exemptions on line 7 of the employee's Form WH-4, multiply it by two and add the number to this field.
For example, if employee has 3 additional dependent exemptions (Form WH-4 line 6) and 2 adopted child dependent exemptions (Form WH-4 line 7), enter 7 as the total number of exemptions for State Withholding Dependents.
Note: The number of dependent exemptions for Indiana county tax (local) withholding must be the same as the number of dependent exemptions for Indiana state withholding.
Local Taxes Dependents
Enter the number of additional dependent exemptions the employee is claiming on line 6 of the employee's Form WH-4.
If the employee is claiming adopted child dependent exemptions on line 7 of the employee's Form WH-4, multiply it by two and add the number to this field.
For example, if employee has 3 additional dependent exemptions (Form WH-4 line 6) and 2 adopted child dependent exemptions (Form WH-4 line 7), enter 7 as the total number of exemptions for Local Taxes Dependents.
Note: The number of dependent exemptions for Indiana county tax (local) withholding must be the same as the number of dependent exemptions for Indiana state withholding.
Actual number of adopted children
Use this field to specify the number of adopted children claimed by the employee on the Form WH-4. This value will not be used with the first phase of the Indiana 2022 tax withholding updates but should still be entered as it will be used in the second phase. It’s important that you provide this information if the State Withholding Number of Dependents and Local Withholding Number of Dependents include exemptions for an adopted child or children.

Transfer of Deltek Time and Expense Export Settings to the Corporate Labor Settings
Prior to this release, you can set up the following Time and Expense export settings on only the Export Data to Deltek Time and Expense (LDPDTC) screen:
Project mapping
Account mapping
Project name option
Manufacturing Order (MO) name options
However, the Export Data to Deltek Time and Expense screen allowed you to save different options in different parameters. This means that the exported data may not be consistent each time, which may cause inconsistencies in the user data.
To address this issue, Costpoint now allows you to only control these specific settings on the Corporate Labor Settings subtask on the Configure Labor Settings screen. Display-only versions of the same fields will be available on the Corporate Settings tab on the Export Data to Deltek Time and Expense screen.
The fields on the Corporate Settings tab of the Export Data to Deltek Time and Expense screen will display the values from fields on the Corporate Labor Settings subtask of the Configure Labor Settings screen.
Warning: Before you install 8.1.14, Deltek recommends that you take a screen capture of the Integration Setting tab (Time & Expense » Configuration » General Controls » General Settings) for later reference when you follow the post-installation instructions.
After you apply MR 8.1.14, you must complete a one-time setup of your export settings to ensure that the Project/MO names and mappings in Time and Expense are still correct. It is not possible for Deltek to configure these export settings for your company automatically.
To set up your Deltek Time and Expense export settings:
In Costpoint, click People » Labor » Labor Controls » Configure Labor Settings.
Click the Corporate Labor Settings subtask and enter the following Deltek Time and Expense export settings being used by your company before the update:
Project Name
MO Build Description
Project Mappings
Account Mappings
Please note that for co-deployed systems, the export is not required for the Project Name, MO Build Description, and Mappings to update Time and Expense.
Save your changes.

The Configure Labor Settings screen provides the following updates in the Corporate Labor Settings subtask:
A new Deltek Time and Expense Export Settings group box contains the following fields from the Export Data to Deltek Time and Expense screen:

Ability to Print W-2s and W-3s on Plain Paper/Blank Stock Using PDF Template
Prior to this release, you were able to print Form W-2 on only pre-printed forms from recommended vendors. In this release, Costpoint adds the ability to save Form W-2s as PDF files, which you can use to print on plain paper or blank stock. This feature will prevent alignment problems that occur when you use pre-printed forms.
This Costpoint release adds multiple W-2 options, including an option to create a Substitute Copy A on the Print W-2s screen, which automatically creates a corresponding Form W-3. The W-3 includes additional employer information that you can now set up on the existing Manage Tax Report Data screen.
Print W-2 or W-3 Forms with Data on Blank Stock or Plain Paper
Use the Print W-2s screen to print W-2 or W-3 Forms on blank stock or plain paper instead of on pre-printed forms.
To print W-2 or W-3 forms on blank stock/plain paper:
On the Print W-2s screen, enter the selection ranges for employees, taxable entity, and payroll year for the W-2 or W-3 Form.
Note: To print on blank stock or plain paper, you must enter a Payroll Year of 2022 or later.
In the Report Type group box, select the W-2 option.
Note: To print on blank stock or plain paper, you must select W-2 as the Report Type.
In the Paper group box, select the Blank Stock/Plain Paper (Saved as PDF Files) option and enter the location for saving the PDF files in the File Location field.
Attention: Please see IRS Publication 1141 - General Rules and Specifications for Substitute Forms W-2 and W-3 for the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) regarding the preparation and use of substitute forms for Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) and Form W-3 (Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements) for wages paid during the 2022 calendar year.
In the W-2 (Form with Data) group box, select the options for printing employee W-2 forms with data to a PDF.
Option
Description
One Copy per Page
Select this option if you want to print only one W-2 form per page. You can use this option to print employee copies on 8.5 x 11-inch plain paper.
Note: Deltek's partner forms providers do not have blank stock forms for one W-2 per page.
This option allows you to do either one of the following:
Print per copy (for example, print Copy B first, then Copy C, then Copy 2, and then Employee Filing Instructions last), and then collate the printed copies per employee.
Print a set of employee copies, which will include the filing instructions.
The One Copy per Page options are:
Copy B: Select this option to generate one W-2 Form Copy B per page, per employee.
Note: According to IRS regulations, instructions similar to those contained on the back of Copies B, C, and 2 of the official IRS Form W-2 must be provided to each employee. Because the filing instructions will not print on the back of the W-2 Form (Copy B), you can use the Employee Filing Instructions options to create a PDF, print it for each employee, and then include it with the W-2 Form Copies B, C, and 2 that will be mailed to the employee.
Copy C: Select this option to generate one W-2 Form Copy C per page, per employee.
Copy 2: Select this option to generate one W-2 Form Copy 2 per page, per employee.
Employee's W-2 Set (B, C, 2, Instructions): Select this option if you want to print a set of W-2s per employee with only one W-2 form per page. This set includes Copy B, Copy C, Copy 2, and a copy of filing instructions per employee. Four separate pages will print for each employee. The generated PDF file will have the following file name format: <Taxable Entity>_< Payroll Year>W2_Set_<Timestamp>.pdf.
Note: If you want a separate PDF file for each set of W-2s per employee, then you must also select the One PDF File per Employee checkbox in the Print Options group box. The generated PDF files will have the following file name format: <Last name of employee>_<Employee ID>_<Payroll Year>W2_<Timestamp>.pdf.
2-Up
Select this option if you want to print two W-2 forms per page. This is used for government reporting or employer copies where two employee records are printed per page. You can print this either on 2-Up blank stock from Deltek partner forms providers or on 8.5 x 11-inch plain paper.
Substitute Copy A (SSA-Approved): Select this option if you want to print a black and white Copy A of Form W-2. A PDF will be generated, and you can use that file to print the W-2 Forms (Copy A). Two W-2 Forms (Copy A) will print per page. A separate PDF file for the W-3 will be automatically created and saved in the same location as the Form W-2 Copy A.
Note: According to IRS Publication 1141 - General Rules and Specifications for Substitute Forms W-2 and W-3, W-2 Forms (Copy A) must be printed on 8.5 x 11-inch single-sheet paper only. There must be two W-2 Forms (Copy A) printed on a page. There must be no horizontal perforations between the two W-2 Forms (Copy A) on each page. All forms and data must be printed in nonreflective black ink only.
Copy 1: Select this option if you want to print two W-2 Forms (Copy 1) per page.
Copy D: Select this option if you want to print two W-2 Forms (Copy D) per page.
4-Up (B, C, 2, 2)
Select this option to generate a PDF file for employee W-2 Forms Copy B, Copy C, and two copies of Copy 2. The employee's Copy B, Copy C, and two copies of Copy 2 will be printed on one sheet per employee. The paper for all copies must be white and printed in black ink.
Note: It is highly recommended to print this on 4-Up perforated blank stock from Deltek partner form providers. According to IRS regulations, "Employee copies of Form W-2 (Copies B, C, and 2), including those that are printed on a single sheet of paper, must be easily separated. The best method of separation is to provide perforations between the individual copies. Whatever method of separation is used, each copy should be easily distinguished."
The IRS and SSA guidelines also state that the employee filing instructions must be provided to each employee. Because the filing instructions will not print on the back of the 4-Up if you print to plain paper, you can use the Employee Filing Instructions options to create a PDF, print it for each employee, and then include it with the 4-Up W-2 Form that will be mailed to the employee.
Employee Filing Instructions
Select this option to generate a PDF file of the employee filing instructions found at the back of Copies B, C, and 2 of the official IRS Form W-2. After you generate the PDF file, you can print the instructions on 8.5 x 11-inch plain paper and include it with the W-2 Forms Copy B, C, and 2 that will be mailed to the employee.
Select the Print W-2 Forms with Data option from the Action Menu to generate W-2 or W-3 forms with data.
The application saves the forms as PDF files in the specified file location. PDF files will have an appropriate file name depending on the selected W-2 copies. For example, if you select Substitute Copy A (SSA-Approved), the generated PDF files will have the following file name format:
W-2 Copy A: < Taxable Entity>_< Payroll Year>W2_CopyA_< Timestamp>.pdf
W-3: < Taxable Entity >__< Year>W3_< Timestamp>.pdf
Note: If you select Substitute Copy A (SSA-Approved), the application will automatically create a separate Form W-3 PDF file.
In a PDF reader, open the generated PDF files and review the data on the W-2s or W-3 forms.
Load your printer with the appropriate plain paper or blank stock and print the forms using black ink. You must configure your printer settings to print the forms in actual size.
Manage Tax Report Data (PRMMAG)
The Manage Tax Report Data adds the following new fields that are included on Form W-3:
Field
Description
Kind of Payer
From the drop-down list, select the option that best describes the kind of payer that will be reported in the W-3 PDF file when the Substitute Copy A (SSA-Approved) option is selected on the Print W-2s screen. Options are:

The Manage Tax Report Data screen was previously named the Manage Tax File Data screen.
Print W-2s (PRRW2)
The Print W-2s screen provides the ability to print W-2s on blank stock or plain paper through the new Print W-2 Forms with Data option on the Action Menu. When you run this process, the application will save Form W-2s as PDF files in the specified location.
To support this new functionality, the application adds the following group boxes/fields:
Group Box/Field
Description
Paper
Use this group box to select if the W-2 will be printed on a pre-printed form or on plain paper or blank stock.
Note: This group box will be enabled only if the Report Type is W-2 and the Payroll Year is 2022 or later.
Pre-Printed: Select this option if you are printing W-2 or W-2c user data only on pre-printed forms. Use the Print Menu for this option.
Blank Stock / Plain Paper (Saved as PDF Files): Select this option if you are printing W-2 form with data on blank stock or plain paper. With this option, the W-2 will be printed to a PDF, rather than a printer. The W-2s will be saved as PDF files in the specified location. You must use the Action Menu for this option.
After generating the PDFs, you can open the forms in a PDF reader and print them using blank stock from a forms provider or plain paper. You must configure your printer settings to print the forms in actual size. If you opt to print the form on plain paper, you must use 8.5 x 11-inch plain paper.
Note: This option is not available yet for the printing W-2c forms. If you select the Blank Stock / Plain Paper (Saved as PDF Files) option, you must specify the File Location where the PDF files will be saved, and then select the type of W-2 copy from the W-2 (Form with Data) group box.
Attention: For more information, please refer to Print W-2 or W-3 Forms with Data on Blank Stock or Plain Paper procedure. Please see IRS Publication 1141 - General Rules and Specifications for Substitute Forms W-2 and W-3 for the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) regarding the preparation and use of substitute forms for Form W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) and Form W-3 (Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements) for wages paid during the 2022 calendar year.
File Location: Enter the location where W-2s will be saved. If you run the Print W-2 Forms with Data process, the application will save the Form W-2s as PDF files in the specified file location.
W-2 (Form with Data)
Use this group box to select the type of report you are printing on blank stock or plain paper.
Note: This group box will be enabled only if Blank Stock / Plain Paper (Saved as PDF Files) is selected for Payroll Year 2022 or later.
One Copy per Page
Select this option if you want to print only one W-2 form per page. You can use this option to print employee copies on 8.5 x 11-inch plain paper.
Note: Deltek's partner forms providers do not have blank stock forms for one W-2 per page.
This option allows you to do either of the following:
Print per copy (for example, print Copy B first, then Copy C, then Copy 2, and then Employee Filing Instructions last), and then collate the printed copies per employee.
Print a set of employee copies, which will include the filing instructions.
The One Copy per Page options are:
Copy B: Select this option to generate one W-2 Form Copy B per page, per employee.
Note: According to IRS regulations, instructions similar to those contained on the back of Copies B, C, and 2 of the official IRS Form W-2 must be provided to each employee. Because the filing instructions will not print on the back of the W-2 Form (Copy B), you can use the Employee Filing Instructions options to create a PDF, print it for each employee, and then include it with the W-2 Form Copies B, C, and 2 that will be mailed to the employee.
Copy C: Select this option to generate one W-2 Form Copy C per page, per employee.
Copy 2: Select this option to generate one W-2 Form Copy 2 per page, per employee.
Employee's W-2 Set (B, C, 2, Instructions): Select this option if you want to print a set of W-2s per employee with only one W-2 form per page. This set includes Copy B, Copy C, Copy 2, and a copy of filing instructions per employee. Four separate pages will print for each employee. The generated PDF file will have the following file name format: <Taxable Entity>_< Payroll Year>W2_Set_<Timestamp>.pdf.
Note: If you want a separate PDF file for each set of W-2s per employee, then you must also select the One PDF File per Employee checkbox in the Print Options group box. The generated PDF files will have the following file name format: <Last name of employee>_<Employee ID>_<Payroll Year>W2_<Timestamp>.
2-Up
Select this option if you want to print two W-2 forms per page. This is used for government reporting or employer copies where two employee records are printed per page. You can print this either on 2-Up blank stock from Deltek partner forms providers or on 8.5 x 11-inch plain paper.
Substitute Copy A (SSA-Approved): Select this option if you want to print a black and white Copy A of Forms W-2. A PDF will be generated, and you can use that file to print the W-2 Forms (Copy A). Two W-2 Forms (Copy A) will print per page. A separate PDF file for the W-3 will be automatically created and saved in the same location as the Form W-2 Copy A.
Note: According to IRS Publication 1141 - General Rules and Specifications for Substitute Forms W-2 and W-3, W-2 Forms (Copy A) must be printed on 8.5 x 11-inch single-sheet paper only. There must be two Forms W-2 (Copy A) printed on a page. There must be no horizontal perforations between the two Forms W-2 (Copy A) on each page. All forms and data must be printed in nonreflective black ink only.
Copy 1: Select this option if you want to print two W-2 Forms (Copy 1) per page.
Copy D: Select this option if you want to print two W-2 Forms (Copy D) per page.
4-Up (B, C, 2, 2)
Select this option to generate a PDF file for employee W-2 Forms Copy B, Copy C, and two copies of Copy 2. The employee's Copy B, Copy C, and two copies of Copy 2 will be printed on one sheet per employee. The paper for all copies must be white and printed in black ink.
Note: It is highly recommended to print this on 4-Up perforated blank stock from Deltek partner form providers. According to IRS regulations, "Employee copies of Form W-2 (Copies B, C, and 2), including those that are printed on a single sheet of paper, must be easily separated. The best method of separation is to provide perforations between the individual copies. Whatever method of separation is used, each copy should be easily distinguished." The IRS and SSA guidelines also state that the employee filing instructions must be provided to each employee. Because the filing instructions will not print on the back of the 4-Up if you print to plain paper, you can use the Employee Filing Instructions options to create a PDF, print it for each employee, and then include it with the 4-Up W-2 Form that will be mailed to the employee.
Employee Filing Instructions
Select this option to generate a PDF file of the employee filing instructions found at the back of Copies B, C, and 2 of the official IRS Form W-2. After you generate the PDF file, you can print the instructions on 8.5 x 11-inch plain paper and include it with the W-2 Forms Copy B, C, and 2 that will be mailed to the employee.
One PDF File per Employee
Select this checkbox to create a separate PDF file for each set of W-2s per employee. The file names will have a format of <Last name of employee>_<Employee ID>_< Payroll Year>W2_< Timestamp>.pdf.
Note: This checkbox is applicable only for Employee's W-2 Set (B, C, 2, Instructions).
The screen layout was updated to accommodate the new fields. The following are the details of the changes:
The screen now lists the pre-printed paper options in new W-2 (Data Only) and W-2c (Data Only) group boxes. These options were formerly available in the W-2 Form Type and W-2c Form Type drop-down lists. These options are enabled only if you select the Pre-printed option in the Paper group box.
The following fields are now in a Print Options group box:
Starting Control Number
Print only the last 4 numbers of SSN
One PDF File per Employee
Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)
The Print Data Dictionary Report reflects the field updates in this enhancement. The following are the details of the changes in the report:
The report now provides information for the new PAYER_KIND and ESTABLISHMENT_NO columns in the MAG_MEDIA_RPT table.
The description of the MAG_MEDIA_RPT table is now "Tax Report Data."
The definition of the MAG_MEDIA_RPT table was updated to “Stores employer information used in the W-2 or W-3 report."
Accounts Payable Package in Costpoint BI Supports Nvoicepay
You can now create the new Nvoicepay Payment Report in Costpoint Business Intelligence through the Accounts Payable package. The prompt selections for this report include bank accounts, check numbers, due dates, and posted dates, which help in filtering the records in the report.
Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) in the Accounts Payable Package in Costpoint BI
The System for Award Management (SAM.gov) provides the option for a single taxable entity to have multiple Unique Entity Identification (UEI) numbers for its units in different locations. In support of this, new fields are now available in the Accounts Payable package in Costpoint BI, such as the UEI Number and CAGE Code.
Highlight of Single Error Messages
When a single error occurs, the related field requiring attention is now highlighted for easy identification.
This enhancement is related to a Timesheet improvement initiative described in KB Article 109655.
