Illinois 2023 Tax Table Update

Illinois updated its withholding formula July 5 after a tax bill reduced the value of a state allowance to its 2022 level. The value of a state allowance was set at $2,425, instead of the 2023 value of $2,625.

An additional formula was added to Illinois’s withholding methods to correct withholdings for existing employees for the remainder of 2023. The formula is the same as the standard formula but uses an allowance value of $2,225. A formula with an allowance value of $2,425 is also included, but should only be used for new employees.

This release adds a Personal Exemption Allowances record effective 06/07/2023 on the Manage State Tax Withholding Adjustments screen, which sets the Amount per Credit/Exemption to 2,425 for Illinois.

The Compute Payroll application adds special programming that sets the Illinois personal exemption allowance amount to $2,225 for existing employees for check dates within 06/07/2023 and 12/31/2023 only.

Attention: For more information, see Revised 2023 Booklet IL-700-T: https://tax.illinois.gov/content/dam/soi/en/web/tax/forms/withholding/documents/currentyear/il-700-t.pdf

Note: This update requires patch dbc_820_11183.


Indiana 2022 Withholding Tax Updates (Phase 2) - Update Payroll Processing to Use Number of Adopted Children

Indiana'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.

The Actual Number of Adopted Children field was recently added on the Manage Employee Taxes screen and in ESS, where you were instructed to specify the actual number of adopted children claimed by the employee on the Form WH-4. This value was not used with the first phase of the Indiana 2022 tax withholding updates. You were also instructed to temporarily include the number of adopted children for both state and local dependents in order for payroll to calculate the withholding tax, even when there was not yet an adopted children exemption type on the Manage State Tax Withholding Adjustments screen.

You must now use the Reduce Employee Number of Dependents for Indiana toolkit to reduce the state's number of dependents, based on the number of adopted children.

Warning: This maintenance release updates the Toolkit Status table for each company that has no employees in Indiana. You cannot run Compute Payroll until you have run the toolkit for any company that has employees in Indiana.

Note: This update requires patch dbc_820_11154.

 

Reduce Employee Number of Dependents for Indiana (EMPTOOLKITINDIANA)

When you run this toolkit, the number of Indiana's dependents for both state and local taxes is reduced based on the number of adopted children. This also populates the newly added Number of Adopted Children field in Local Taxes with the same value as the State's Number of Adopted Children if the State of the Local Tax is IN and its Tax Type is County Income Tax.

For example, if an employee has 3 additional dependent exemptions (Form WH-4 line 6) and 2 adopted child dependent exemptions (Form WH-4 line 7), with Phase 1 we instructed you to enter 7 as the total number of exemptions for State and Local Taxes Dependents (3 dependent exemptions plus 4 exemptions for the 2 adopted children). Because, in Phase 2, Compute Payroll will be updated to use the Number of Adopted Children value when computing for Indiana, the toolkit reduces the number of dependents based on the number of adopted children. So, using the same example, the Number of Dependents will be updated from 7 to 3 (to remove the 4 exemption credits for the 2 adopted children). The Number of Adopted Children field in Local Taxes will then be populated with 2.

This toolkit will not reduce the number of dependents for Indiana in the Multi-State Taxes subtask of Manage Employee Taxes screen. This means that you must manually remove the number of adopted child dependent exemptions from the number of dependents field and transfer it to the Actual number of adopted children field in the Multi-State Taxes subtask.

 

Manage Employee Taxes (PRMETAX)

Note: This update also applies to the Taxes subtask of the Manage Employee Information screen.

Enhancements


Accounting

Multi-User Report Printing for Fixed Asset Journals

The Post Fixed Assets Journal screen now allows multiple users to print or preview the Fixed Assets Journal at the same time.

Note: This multi-user functionality does not allow the use of the same user ID to simultaneously print or preview the Fixed Assets Journal on different workstations.

The posting process remains a single-user functionality. However, multiple users can submit postings simultaneously. Costpoint queues the posting/commitment transactions and processes them one at a time. If you submit multiple postings with the same parameters, only the first one is processed successfully.

Use the Print/Post Fixed Assets option going forward. (The Post Fixed Assets option is no longer available.)

Each report generated from the Print/Post Fixed Assets process contains a unique sequencing number. You should retain these reports, in case they are needed for historical purposes.


Framework

Framework

The CPMETADATA.json file that you use to create MS Word Templates in Office 365 has been updated to include only the applications that you are licensed to access. This file contains result set data and Extensibility fields from Costpoint.


New Interactive Engagement Confirmation Messages

In Configure System Settings, when you clear the Enable Interactive Engagements checkbox or the Do not capture application usage statistics checkbox to turn off the features and then click Save, Costpoint now prompts you to confirm the change.


Scan Documents With a Camera

The Attach feature now includes a new source option, Camera, which you can use to scan documents with your computer camera or mobile device camera, instead of uploading photos and then attaching them in Costpoint.

When you click Attach in an application, the Choose File window opens with the new Camera source option listed, along with the existing Local File and Alternate File Location source options. When you select Camera, Costpoint prompts you for permission to use your device's camera. You can specify a target location and notes for the attachment when using the Camera source option, as you can for the other source options.


Installation

The 8.2.2 MR installer has been updated to include the latest quarterly patch release for WebLogic 14.1.1.

In addition, the Java Development Kit (JDK) has been upgraded to version 11.0.20 and is installed with the Costpoint 8.2.2 MR installer.


People

Direct Deposit Options on the ESS Payroll Checks Screen

Employees with access to the ESS Payroll Checks screen have had the ability to opt into, or out of, having their direct deposit advices mailed to them. Prior to this release, there was no way to hide this option from employees. Payroll administrators can now opt to hide the setting from employees by clearing the new Allow employees to opt into or out of receiving advices by mail checkbox on the Manage Taxable Entity Settings screen and then running the Rebuild Global Settings process.

 

Manage Taxable Entity Settings (AOMESSCS)

The application provides the following field.

Field

Description

Allow employees to opt into or out of receiving advices by mail

Select this checkbox to allow employees to specify whether or not they would like to receive direct deposit advices by mail. Selecting this checkbox enables and displays the Please mail my direct deposit advices checkbox on the ESS Payroll Checks screen. Employees can use this checkbox to override the Mail Direct Deposit checkbox on the Manage Employee Bank Information screen.

Do not select this checkbox if you do not want to allow employees to override the Mail Direct Deposit setting or give them the choice of having their direct deposit advices mailed.

The layout of screen has been updated and existing fields were rearranged on the following new tabs.

 

Payroll Checks (ESMPAYCHECKS)

The Change Options subtask is now the Direct Deposit Mailing Options subtask. This subtask is enabled if the if the Allow employees to opt into or out of receiving advices by mail checkbox is selected on the Manage Taxable Entity Settings screen for the employee’s Taxable Entity.

The existing settings on the Direct Deposit Mailing Options subtask have been updated and replaced with the following options.

Field

Description

Please mail my direct deposit advices

Select this checkbox if you want your payroll direct deposit advices mailed to you. When you select this checkbox, your mailing address is displayed.

Your direct deposit advices will be mailed to

This is the mailing address that your employer has on file. If there are any issues, correct them on the Address/Phone screen on the Employee Self Service > Personal menu. If you do not have access to that screen, contact your Payroll Administrator.


New Deduction Computation Method That Does Not Exclude 457 and NQDC Contributions

Human Resources/Payroll administrators can set up deductions or contributions with a computation method that uses percent of gross and does not exclude any 457 or non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) amounts from the gross. This feature enables companies to comply with 403(b) plan requirements.

You can now select a new PCTGRQ deduction/contribution computation method in related Costpoint applications. The new method is a Percent of Gross Wages that excludes any 457 plan deductions and NQDC deductions. This method multiplies the Rate % by the total wages for the pay period.

 

Manage Deductions (PRMDED)

You can now select the PCTGRQ option from the Computation Method fields for deductions and contributions. The calculation is gross amount minus non-qualified deductions.

 

Manage Employee Deductions (PRMEDED)

You can now set the Method option to PCTGRQ. Any employee who is currently assigned to a retirement plan with a computation method of PCTGRS and needs to have non-qualifying deductions excluded from the gross wages should change the computation method to the new type, PCTGRQ.

 

Manage Employer Contributions (PRMECNT)

You can now set the Method option to PCTGRQ. Any employee who is currently assigned to a retirement plan with a computation method of PCTGRS and needs to have non-qualifying deductions excluded from the gross wages should change the computation method to the new type, PCTGRQ.

 

Compute Payroll (PRPCPR)

The PCTGRQ computation method was added to the calculation process. The calculation is gross amount minus non-qualified deductions.

The existing PCTGRS computation method was updated to include any deduction types. This method previously excluded NQDC, 457, and 409(A) deduction types from 401(K), 403(B), 408(K), 501(C), RTH401, and RTH403.

 

Import Employee Leave and Deductions (AOPUTLDL)

The PCTGRQ computation method was added to the list of allowable values for the import process.

 

Manage Taxable Entity Settings (AOMESSCS)

You can now set the Deduction option to PCTGRQ in the Deduction Methods subtask.

 

Manage Retirement Elections (AOMESSRB)

You can now set the Deduction Method option to PCTGRQ.

 


Setting for the Default Plant for New Employees

When you set up Plants that will be used for Shop Floor Time, Costpoint requires you to select a default Plant on the Manage Plants screen. The default Plant is used in Materials applications. This default is also automatically assigned to each new employee record.

Prior to this release, you could not opt out of automatically assigning the default plant to new employees. If you did not want to export the new employee to Shop Floor Time, you had to delete the Plant assigned to the employee in the Product Interface tab on the Manage Employee Information screen. If you did not remember to delete the Plant before running the Export Project Manufacturing Data process to Shop Floor Time, the new employee was included in the data transfer and you had to manually delete the exported new employee record in Shop Floor Time.

To address this issue, Costpoint now provides a Default for New Employees option on the Manage Plants screen. Use this option to specify whether or not to assign the default plant to new employee records.

 

Manage Plants (INMPLANT)

The screen provides the following field.

Field

Description

Default for New Employees

To enable this checkbox, you must first select the Default checkbox.

Select this checkbox to automatically assign this Plant to new employees. The Plant and its setup then default when you add a new employee on the Manage Employee Information screen. You can also assign the Plant and its setup to new employees when they are imported on the Import Employee Data application.

Clear this checkbox if you do not want the Plant to be automatically assigned to new employees.

 

Manage Job Templates (HPMREQR)

The application assigns the default Plant on new records only if the Plant’s Default for New Employees checkbox is selected.

 

Manage Employee Information (HPMREQR)

The application assigns the default Plant on new records only if the Plant’s Default for New Employees checkbox is selected.

 

Import Employee Data (AOPUTLEL)

The Default the Plant field is now the Default the Plant (will only default if Record 4 is provided for the employee) field.


Projects

Multi-Job Allocation: Labor Now Allocated Based on Period Total

In previous Costpoint versions, when you post labor to projects that are allocated through a multi-job function, Costpoint allocates based on the subperiod in which these labor amounts occur. This applies when the multi-job has Allocation Basis set to Current Period and the Allocate Employee/Vendor Labor Hours checkbox selected on the Manage Multi-Job Allocation Information screen.

For example, if Period 1/Subperiod 1 has 300 of labor spread over three projects with a base of 100/200/300 (total of 600), Costpoint allocates 50/100/150 to the three projects. This approach does not present any issue as long as you have only one subperiod. If Subperiod 2 exists, the allocation is based on the second subperiod labor rather than the total labor for the period.

Beginning with Costpoint 8.2.2, the labor allocation for subperiod 2 and any succeeding subperiods is based on the total allocation for the period, to avoid out-of-balance calculations. This change also supports consistency with the way in which Costpoint allocates non-labor amounts.

 

Calculation for PD1 SUBPD1

There are no changes in how Costpoint calculates the allocation for Period 1 Subperiod 1.

In our current example, Allocation per subperiod is calculated based on the period-to-date (PTD) total labor of 700. Costpoint then calculates Final Allocation per project as follows: (SUBD1 Allocation + SUBPD2 Allocation) – Previous Allocation from PD1 SUBPD1.

This enhancement applies to the following allocation methods:

However, the calculation is a bit different for Percentage as % Allocation is based on values entered on the Percentage Base subtask of the Manage Multi-Job Allocation Information screen.

The following applications have been updated for this enhancement:

Note: After you install MR 8.2.2, Deltek recommends that you review and adjust your data on this screen as needed to do PTD computations before running the Create Multi-Job Allocation Entries application. For existing records, Costpoint sets the Project and Account columns to the project and account from the sending project. Both these fields should be updated to the project and account in the destination project.
