__APPLY_BENEFIT_WAGE_LIMIT__
*Optional, alphanumeric
*Allows a user to specify if the Benefit Annual Wage Limit should be applied by the SymmetryTaxEngine when an employee’s wages reach the $250 000 limit. By applying the limit, when an employee reaches the limit (Regular and Supplemental wages combined), the employee’s 401k / 457 deductions become taxable. By not applying the annual limit, when an Employee reaches this annual wage the deductions are not taxable for Federal. This is typically used when an employee’s Supplemental wages should Not be considered in the annual wage equation.

For Railroad Taxation, if an employee has FICA contribution during the year, this means the employee works between the Railroad and Non-Railroad Assignments. In this case, please check if the '€˜RR Self-Adjust' method should be used for this employee or not.
The reason is, if 'RR Self-Adjust' method is defined on [IPRLU], this method is applicable for both RR Tier1 and Tier2 calculations. However, since Regular FICA does not have a Tier2 calculation, the 'RR Self-Adjust' method will automatically re-adjust all earnings that include YTD FICA Earnings that are not subject to Tier2 calculation. This would cause the entire YTD Earnings to subject to Tier2 tax.

Since employees should only pay Tier2 tax for the earnings that are earned for Railroad employment, if employee has FICA contribution, it should be verified if this employee should use the 'Self-Adjust' method to re-calculate all Tier2 tax or just use 'RR No Self-Adjust' method.

If RRTA Earnings (RRTA_Wages.ctd) is different than FIT Earnings (FIT_Wages.ctd), then calculate the difference between the Wages for RRTA and FIT (i.e. Usage 6306 – Usage 6051), called this Additional RRTA Wages

RRTA Taxable Earnings = 69434.02 – 2044.46 = 67389.56
RRTA Tier1 ER Contribution =: RRTA Taxable Earnings x RRTA Tier1 ER Rate
