!!Overview
This page describes the US Federal Tax Calculation using the Symmetry Tax Engine (STE) Software. Users must have a thorough understanding of the Payroll Pay Cycle [UPCALC] process.
!!!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, the applicable Tax Rates and Miscellaneous Parameters can be viewed by State in [IPUTR] and [IPUTP].\\ \\
__IPUTR__\\ US Tax Rates can be viewed by State and the Overridden Rates and Wage Base entered.\\ Some SUTA surcharge calculations for specific states can be suppressed by checking the 'Do not Calculate' toggle. \\ \\
__IPUTP__\\ The US Tax Miscellaneous parameters can be be viewed by the States that are applicable for [IPRLU]. \\ \\
__IDGV__\\ This form can 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__ Applicable Tax Jurisdictions that are paid by employees are entered here. On the [IPPH]/[IEPI], [IEAS], [IDLN], etc. forms that require a tax jurisdiction, the 'Tax Jurisdiction Editor Utility' dialog box can be used to enter the jurisdiction on [IDTX].\\ \\
__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 [IMCT] set up.\\ \\
__IPPH__\\
*The 'Pay Header' tab must define the default Work and Home jurisdictions.
*The 'Pay Lines' tab, 'Jurisdiction' field must define the Work Jurisdiction of this pay line.
* After the Trial Calc or [UPCALC], the 'Pay Amounts' tab contains all US Taxation amounts, in summary, that are used for the calculation of net pay.
*The 'Pay Jurisdiction' tab contains the default Work and Home jurisdictions.
*After Trial Calc or [UPCALC], the 'Pay Jurisdiction' tab contains all US Taxation amounts, by jurisdictions, in detail.\\ \\

On IPUTP screen, the following Federal tax parameters are available to be used on IPRLU / IPRLUS screen.
*401K_CATCHUP
*IRS_MAX_EXEMPTIONS
These parameters will not automatically be added to IPRLU / IPRLUS by UPRLU process for all employees. Users are required to manually add to IPRLU / IPRLUS for employees who are eligible for each parameter.
%%information These parameters will not automatically be added to [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] by the [UPRLU] process for all employees. [IPRLU]/[IPRLUS] information is required to be manually added for employees who are eligible for each parameter.%%

;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 the user is enrolled in 401k plan with annual contribution limit greater than this regular limit, this parameter allows the 401k maximum contribution to exceed the IRS limit for Benefit Pre-tax calculation
*'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, user can enter ‘YES’ in IPUTP Default Value, otherwise each employee can specify the value for this option on IPRLU /IPRLUS screen
__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.

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.

FIT_Wages Usage 6051 Pre FWT Earnings 6153.82

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.
At line 294 added 12 lines
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.
\\ \\
The next example shows the 'RR Self-Adjust' method and should be used when the employee does not have FICA employment. \\
