Indiana W-2 Reporting Box 20 Format

The Indiana Department of Revenue issued an information bulletin that provides employers with the necessary information to indicate correctly the Indiana adjusted gross income tax withheld and county income tax withheld on the state copy of Federal Form W-2, Wage, and Tax Statement.

All Indiana state and county income tax withheld by an employer must be designated in the appropriate boxes of the state copy of the W-2 form.

Prior to this release, if the local tax was a county income tax in the State of Indiana, Box 20 was automatically populated with the description of the locality code when you ran the Create W-2 Table application. The description may not necessarily be the county code number in the correct format.

To support the state requirement, Costpoint updates the following applications to ensure that the county code assigned to Indiana is correct.

 

Manage Local Taxes (PRMLTI)

The Manage Local Taxes screen now ensures that the county code assigned to Indiana is a valid two-digit number.

 

Create W-2 Table (PRPCW2)

The Create W-2 Table screen can now populate Box 20 in W-2s with Indiana’s county code in the required format.

If the local tax is a county income tax linked to the State of Indiana, the application retrieves the county number from the County Code (IN) field on the Manage Local Taxes screen (instead of from the locality name), and then populates Box 20 with the letter C and the 2-digit county number in the following fields:

Application

Field

Manage W-2s

Locality Name (Box 20)

Manage W-2Cs

Previously reported – 20 Locality name

Manage W-2Cs

Correct information – 20 Locality name

 

Manage W-2s (PRMW2)

The Manage W-2s screen can now populate Box 20 in W-2s with Indiana’s county code in the required format.

If the local tax is a county income tax linked to the State of Indiana, the application populates the Locality Name (Box 20) field with the letter C and the two-digit county number from the County Code (IN) field on the Manage Local Taxes screen. The screen displays a warning message if the Locality Name (Box 20) field is blank or not a valid two-digit Indiana County Number in the required format.

 

Manage W-2Cs (PRMW2C)

The Manage W-2Cs screen now can populate Box 20 in W-2s with Indiana’s county code in the required format.

If the local tax is a county income tax linked to the State of Indiana, the application populates the following fields with the letter C and the two-digit county number from the County Code (IN) field on the Manage Local Taxes screen:

The screen displays a warning message if the Previously reported – 20 Locality name field or the Correct information – 20 Locality name field is blank or not a valid two-digit Indiana County Number in the required format.

Anne Arundel County

Anne Arundel County introduced graduated tax brackets. Anne Arundel County, which used a tax rate of 2.81% in 2022, now uses that rate for taxable income of more than $50,000 in 2023 and uses a 2.7% rate for taxable income of up to $50,000.

Note: Maryland’s recently released 2023 withholding guide added a percentage method corresponding to a 2.75% local tax rate, which means that Anne Arundel County will use the combination of 2.75% and 2.85% tables. This change will be reflected in the next Costpoint MR.

 

Cecil County

Cecil County decreased tax rates from 3% to 2.8%.

Note: Cecil County will now use the 2.85% withholding tables.

 

Frederick County

Frederick County introduced graduated tax brackets. Frederick County used a tax rate of 2.96% in 2022.

Otherwise, the rate of 2.96% applies.

Note: Maryland’s recently released 2023 withholding guide added a percentage method corresponding to a 2.75% local tax rate, which means that Frederick County will use the combination of 2.75% and 3.00% tables. This change will be reflected in the next Costpoint MR.

Prior to this update, when you added a second row, you could specify a new rate in the Other Rate 1 field but you could not specify a different value in the For Annualized Wage Over/Wage Basis field since the field was disabled and set to zero.

Note: This update is applicable to all states.

 

Compute Payroll (PRPCPR)

For bonus payroll processing, the application now retrieves the appropriate Supplemental Tax Rate 1 value based on the value of the For Annualized Wage Over/Wage Basis field if the Type is Supplemental Tax Rate.

Note: This update is applicable to all states.

 

Manage Payroll Records (PRMPTF)

Projects


Billing >> Calculate Standard Bills


Defect 1828970: Calculate Standard Bills was taking too long to complete processing. This issue affects MSS database users only.

Performance tuning has been conducted by using a dynamic table instead of a regular table for Z_BLPGBILL_WRK4_TEMP to improve processing time.


Billing >> Manage Standard Bills


Defect 1731722: When you posted an invoice without a pool number, Costpoint updated the tables correctly. However, in the next invoice that was created and posted, the record without the pool number did not populate as cumulative in the BILLING_EDIT_DETL table. Once the second invoice was posted (which did not include a line with no pool number), the BILLING_SUM table no longer has the record with the blank pool number, causing the BILLING_SUM table not to reconcile with the other billing tables.

As a workaround, you can reverse the invoice in which the pool number was blank. And then, generate the invoice again, and manually correct the pool number in the history record.


Billing >> Print Progress Payment Bills


Defect 1841082: This application has been updated to print Form 1443 (Contractor's Request for Progress Payment) in the latest version. To see the current copy of the form, refer to https://www.gsa.gov/forms-library/contractors-request-progress-payment.
