!!Federal Tax Calculation
!!!General Set Up
;[UDGNIS]:This is the process to load all US Tax Jurisdictions into [IDCO], [IDSP], [IDCN], [IDCI], [IDMN], [IDSD], [IDZR], and [IDTX].
;[UPUTR]:This is the process to load all US Tax Rates and States Miscellaneous Parameters. After [UPUTR] is run, [IPUTR] and [IPUTP] screens can be used to view the applicable Tax Rates and Miscellaneous Parameters by state.
;[IPUTR]:US Tax Rates may be viewed by state and overridden Rates and Wage Base may be entered. Some SUTA surcharge calculation for some states may be suppressed by checking the 'Do not Calculate' toggle.
;[IPUTP]:US Tax Miscellaneous Parameters may be viewed by the states that are applicable for the [IPRLU] screen.
;[IDGV]:This screen may optionally contain specific override Rates and Wage Bases by Government Registration for each registration from the pay header's group. [IDGV] overridden amounts take precedence over the [IPUTR] overridden amounts.
;[IPPC]:Pay components must be set up with applicable [IPCU] PC Usages for US taxation.
;[IDTX]:This screen is used to enter applicable Tax Jurisdictions that are paid by employees. On screens such as [IPPH]/[IEPI], [IEAS], [IDLN], etc. that require a Tax Jurisdiction, the 'Tax Jurisdiction Editor Utility' dialog box can be used to enter the jurisdiction on the [IDTX] screen.
;[IPRLU]/[IPRLUS]:Each employee must be set up with the applicable tax methods. Miscellaneous Tax Parameters must be set up by the states that need to be paid.
;[UPRLU]:This process audits the US Tax Filing information and generates [IPRLU] Miscellaneous Tax Parameters information according to the [IMCT] set up.
;[IPPH]:
*The Pay Header tab must specify the default work and home jurisdictions.
*Within the Pay Lines tab, the Jurisdiction field must specify the work jurisdiction of this pay line.
*After a trial calc or having run [UPCALC], the Pay Amounts tab will contain, in summary, all the US Taxation amounts that are used for the calculation of net pay.
*The Pay Jurisdiction tab contains the default Work and Home jurisdictions.
*After a trial calc or having run [UPCALC],the Pay Jurisdiction tab will contain, in detail, all the US Taxation amounts by jurisdiction.

%%information These parameters will not automatically be added to [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] by [[UPRLU] process for all employees. For employees eligible for each parameter, those parameters must be manually added to the screens.%%\\
;401K_CATCHUP:
*Optional, character, 401K Limit Catch Up Option
*Indicates to Symmetry if the employee is enrolled in a 401k Catch Up plan
*The annual regular 401k contribution limit is defined by the IRS (e.g. $16,500). If an employee is enrolled in a 401k plan with annual contribution limit greater than this regular limit, this parameter will allow the 401k maximum contribution to exceed the IRS limit for Benefit Pre-tax calculation.
*Options:
**'DEFAULT'-Catch Up is not allowed
**'YES'-Catch Up is allowed
**'NO'-Catch Up is not allowed
*If 401K Catch Up option is applicable to all employees, 'YES' can be entered in the [IPUTP] default value, otherwise each employee can specify the value for this option on the [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] screen.
!IPUTP - Federal Tax Parameters
When [UPUTR] is run, it loads in a list of federal tax parameters for Symmetry Federal Tax calculation.
\\ \\
On [IPUTP], the following Federal tax parameters are available to be used on the [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] forms:
* IRS_MAX_EXEMPTIONS
* APPLY_BENEFIT_WAGE_LIMIT
At line 39 changed 6 lines
;IRS_MAX_EXEMPTIONS:
*Optional, numeric, IRS maximum number of exemptions allowed
*Allows an employer to indicate on the employee's [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] screen, the maximum number of exemptions allowed for this employee as indicated by the IRS in a 'lock-in-letter'
*[UPCALC] will cap the employee's federal '# of exemptions' with the value from the [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] 'IRS_MAX_EXEMPTIONS' parameter
*Do not provide a default value for this parameter
*Any number provided will override the Federal Exemptions defined in the Federal Tax

!!!IPUTR - Federal Tax Rates
When UPUTR is run, it loads in a list of federal tax rates for Symmetry Federal Tax calculation.
*On the [IPUTR] screen, set the State field to 'Federal' in order to view the federal tax rates.
*Each Tax Identifier may provide the default Tax Rates, Wage Base to be used for Federal Tax calculation
__IRS_MAX_EXEMPTIONS__
*IRS maximum number of exemptions allowed. Optional, numeric
*Allows an employer to define on the employee's [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] form the maximum number of exemptions allowed for this employee as indicated by the IRS in a 'lock-in-letter'.
*[UPCALC] will cap the employee's 'Federal # of Exemptions' with the value from [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] 'IRS_MAX_EXEMPTIONS' parameter.
*Any number provided will override the 'Federal # of Exemptions', including 0.
*Do not provide a default value
\\
__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.

If you do business in a state that has been given a FUTA Tax Credit reduction, the new FUTA tax rate for that particular state may be entered in [IDGV] for the state. In [IDGV], add a new entry for the specific state, select Registration Type 'US SUI Regist 1'. The Govt Rate Type should be 'US FUTA Rate'. This state specific FUTA rate will be picked up by the [UPCALC] program when an employee is being paid in that state.

*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 calculation. 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, which would cause the entire YTD Earnings to be subject to Tier2 tax.
*Since employee should only pay Tier2 tax for the earnings that are earned for Railroad employment, if the 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 to use 'RR No Self-Adjust' method.
*The next example shows the 'RR Self-Adjust' method and should be used when the employee does not have FICA employment
