State Tax Setup

 

If you require State income taxes to be withheld, you need to edit State tax E/D Codes as follows, if you are not already there click on "Codes" from the Payroll Home Menu and then "Deductions" to bring up the "Earnings and Deductions" input window:

· State Withholding Code (Edit this code only if you have a state withholding tax)

o ID: Enter 96

o Employee #: Enter 0 (zero- Company Level Code)

o Global: Locate this checkbox and check it so that all employees will have State taxes deducted according to the State Tax Table that you specify in the employee entry fields.

o Do not make any other changes to this code o Click Save (on the right side of your screen)

· SUTA Code

o ID: Enter 93

o Employee #: Enter 0 (zero- Company Level Code)

o Amount: Change the rate to reflect the correct experience rating for this Company.

o Change the Limit as required to reflect your annual SUTA limit.

o Ensure that the global checkbox has a checkmark.

o Click Save.

(Note: If you want to pay SUTA through the CCS Payroll Program, click on the Bank button and fill out the banking information. Be sure to put your UCT code number in the Ref. field.)

NOTE: If you have employees that are subject to more than one state tax or as an Employer you have liabilities to more than one state, See MultiState Employees

· Worker's Compensation Code: If you want the program to calculate Worker's Comp., then make the following change:

o ID: Enter 94

o Employee #: Enter 0 (zero- Company Level Code)

o If you have Worker's Comp.ensure that the global click box is checked.

o Click Save.

o Amount: Change the rate to reflect the correct rate for your Company. If you have multiple rates in your Company, please see the topic, Setting up a multiple rates for Worker's Compensation.

· Other State Taxes: If you have state taxes other than the ones mentioned above, edit E/D Codes 80-89 to get them automated. Codes 80 - 84 use the Suta flag for taxation purposes Codes 85-89 have a separate flag. See Deduction Form in the Help system, then find the section called Other Taxes for a more detailed description.

· Tax Tables: As a final touch enter your State EIN in the proper Tax Table(s):

o From the Payroll Home Menu, click on Codes.

o From the Codes & Maintenance Menu, click on Tax Tables.

o Locate the appropriate State Tax Table(s) and put your State EIN in the Taxpayer ID field(s). This will be filled in on your state W/H reports (if W/H reports have been requested).

o Click save.

NOTE: If you have employees that are subject to more than one state tax or as an Employer you have liabilities to more than one state, See MultiState Employees
