Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 8.1.34 Release Notes, which describe the new features, enhancements, and software corrections introduced in this release.
These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 8.1.34, some of which your firm may not use. Skip the sections that do not apply to your implementation of Deltek Costpoint.
The Build Deployed In and Dependent Files lines for defects and the list of required files included in enhancement descriptions are meant to support the Pick and Choose deployment model.

Update W-4 Information of Iowa Employees for 2024 Filing
Important: This action is required if you have Iowa Employees.
Iowa revised the IA W-4 (Employee Withholding Allowance Certificate), resulting in a change to the way an employee’s Iowa withholding credit information is determined. Rather than requesting the number of allowances an employee would like to claim, the IA W-4 now requests a dollar amount.
To accommodate the employee setup, updates made in Costpoint MR 8.1.28 included the following:
A new Credit Amount field was added to the Manage Employee Taxes screen and the Taxes subtask on the Manage Employee Information screen, allowing payroll administrators to enter the Total Allowance amount from Line 6 of the IA W-4.
A new Credit Amount field was added to the Costpoint Employee Self Service (ESS) State Withholding screen, allowing employees to enter the total allowance amount they would like to claim.
In Costpoint MR 8.1.29, the Iowa state withholding computation was updated so that an employee’s credit amount will be based on the Credit Amount field on the Manage Employee Taxes screen, rather than the Number of Credits field. If your Iowa employees have not already reviewed their Iowa W-4 information you should instruct them to do so before computing payroll. Costpoint Payroll customers with Iowa employees should do the following:
Costpoint Employee Self Service (ESS) customers:
Update the Web Address or Notes field on the Configure State Tax Settings screen with a link to the latest IA W-4.
Instruct your Iowa employees to review their Iowa W-4 Credit Amount on the ESS State Withholding screen and update as needed using the following steps:
Go to People » Employee Self Service » Payroll and Benefits » State Withholding.
Populate the Credit Amount with the total allowance amount from line 6 of your 2024 IA W-4.
Click Save.
Costpoint customers not using Costpoint ESS:
Instruct your Iowa employees to file an updated W-4 using the 2024 IA W-4 form.
Use the completed IA W-4 form to update the employee’s tax setup on the Costpoint Manage Employee Taxes screen or the Taxes subtask on the Manage Employee Information screen.
It is important for Iowa employees to update their IA W-4 information before payroll is computed in Costpoint MR 8.1.29 or a higher version since the Iowa tax withholding computation will be updated in those versions. If you upgrade to one of those versions and an Iowa employee has not yet updated their Iowa W-4 information, their credit amount will be 0.00 and may result in a higher withholding amount than expected.
Update Iowa Setup in ESS Configure State Tax Settings
Iowa updated their marital status options with the release of their 2024 IA W-4 employee withholding allowance certificate. To accommodate the new statuses, Costpoint MR 8.1.29 applied the following:
Added new HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD filing status
Changed the description for the SINGLE filing status from "Single" to "Other"
Changed the description for the MARRIED filing status from "Married" to "Married Filing Jointly"
If your employees use Costpoint Employee Self Service (ESS) to update their state tax information, Deltek recommends you assign the new HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD status to Iowa on the Configure State Tax Settings screen and update the filing status descriptions for the MARRIED (Married Filing Jointly) and SINGLE (Other) filing statuses to be consistent with the 2024 IA W-4.

Allow Selection of Safe Harbor for ACA 1095-C Report
When you create your data for the Affordable Car Act (ACA) 1095-C report, Costpoint now allows you to select the Affordable Care Act Safe Harbor method that will be used for all employees or for a category of employees based on employees’ rate type and GLC. The Create 1094-C and 1095-C data screen provides a new Affordability Safe Harbor Option subtask where you can select one or more of the following affordability safe harbors:
The W–2 safe harbor
The federal poverty line safe harbor
The rate of pay safe harbor
Affordability Safe Harbor Option Subtask
On the header of the subtask, you can select the affordability safe harbor options that will be used for the taxable entity. All three safe harbors under which an employer can determine affordability for all employees are selected by default. You must select at least one option in the header. This subtask is not available if Reporting Type is 1094-C Data.
Affordability Safe Harbor Option by Employee Categories Table
On the Affordability Safe Harbor Option by Employee Categories table, you can select the employees’ rate type/GLC combination to use a safe harbor option for specific employee categories. If this table is blank, the affordability safe harbor selected in the header will be used for all employees, when applicable. Likewise, If you did not select a rate type/GLC combination for an employee category, then the application will also use the affordability safe harbor selected in the header. This subtask is optional.
Note: Currently, the Create 1094-C and 1095-C data screen has the following issues which will be fixed in a future release:
When you clear all the Affordability Safe Harbor Option checkboxes and click Preview or Print/Process, the screen displays the "You must select at least one of the affordability safe harbors" error message, but it is not clickable.
When you query a parameter that does not exist, the screen states that "An action is requested but no row has been selected. Please select a row and re-execute the action." Instead of this message, the screen should state that no rows met your criteria.

Combine Multiple Deductions and Local Taxes for the Same W-2 Box 14 Line
You can now combine multiple deductions and local taxes assigned to the same W-2 box 14 line. When you run the Create W-2 Table process, a warning will display if more than one deduction and/or locality are assigned to the same box 14 line. The message will display the list of deduction codes and locality codes assigned to the same box 14 line number, and the amounts of these codes will be summed up when W-2s are created. You can opt to manually remove the box 14 line number assignment from a deduction code or locality code listed in the warning message if it should not be included in the summation.

Report Pension-Linked Emergency Savings Account in Form W-2
Pension-Linked Emergency Savings Accounts (PLESA) are introduced under the SECURE 2.0 Act, specifically section 127. These accounts allow employers to add emergency savings accounts to a defined contribution plan, such as a 401(k), 403(b), or governmental 457(b) plan. Employees can make designated Roth contributions to these accounts, which can be withdrawn under certain conditions.
Contributions must be reported on Form W-2, box 12, using specific codes depending on the type of plan:
Code AA for 401(k) plans
Code BB for 403(b) plans
Code EE for governmental 457(b) plans
Contributions to pension-linked emergency savings accounts are also reported in Box 12 of Form W-2.
The existing Emergency Savings Account (ESA) deduction type does not indicate if it was linked to a 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b). To address this issue, the ESA deduction type can no longer be assigned to new deductions or contributions. Instead, three new deduction types for PLESA have been added on the Manage Deductions screen to replace the ESA deduction type.
Manage Deductions (PRMDED)
You can now select the following from the Deduction Type field:
ESA401 (401(k) linked ESA)
ESA403 (403(b) linked ESA)
ESA457 (457(b) linked ESA)
An error message will display if you assign the old ESA deduction type to new records. A warning message will be displayed on existing deduction records if the deduction type is ESA.
Create W-2 Table (PRPCW2)
The calculation for following Box 12 code amounts were updated:
The code AA amount now includes ESA401 deduction types.
The code BB amount now includes ESA403 deduction types.
The code EE amount now includes ESA457 deduction types.
ESA deduction types will not be included in codes AA, BB, and EE.
The screen will display an error message if there is at least one deduction in employee earnings deduction having an ESA deduction type.

Alabama Overtime Exemption Reporting in Accordance with the FLSA
In 2023, Alabama passed a law exempting overtime compensation from state income taxes from Jan. 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The exemption applies to overtime compensation paid during the exemption period to employees paid on an hourly basis for work performed in excess of 40 hours in a week.
Starting October 1, the exemption will instead apply to any overtime compensation provided in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), under HB 407. This change will remain in effect until the exemption expires on June 30, 2025.
HB 407 also amends employer reporting requirements to conform with the exemption modification.
Export Payroll Taxes (PRPEXTAX)
The Export Payroll Taxes application will now report overtime exempt wages in the STEE tax type to use the FLSA rule effective Oct 1, 2024. The following fields were updated for this functionality:
Field 88: CHECK Alabama Overtime Exempt Wages
Field 89: QTD Alabama Overtime Exempt Wages
Field 90: YTD Alabama Overtime Exempt Wages
Print State Overtime Wages Report (PRRSOTW)
When reporting Alabama’s overtime paid beginning October 1, 2024, the Print State Overtime Wages Report will include only employees with an FLSA Classification of Non-Exempt on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen regardless of their rate type. In addition, the employee eligibility on the Manage Pay Types screen shall no longer be checked.

For the tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, overtime pay received by a full-time hourly wage paid employee for hours worked above 40 in any given week is excluded from gross income and therefore exempt from Alabama state income tax.

When you clear all the Affordability Safe Harbor Option checkboxes and then click Preview or Print/Process, the screen displays the "You must select at least one of the affordability safe harbors" error message, but it is not clickable.
When you query a parameter that does not exist, the screen states that "An action is requested but no row has been selected. Please select a row and re-execute the action." Instead of this message, the screen should state that no rows met your criteria.
