*The Supplemental tax for Federal withholding is computed using the federal percentage (i.e. 25% of wages on the first $1,000,000 in supplemental wages and 35% of wages on any amount over $1,000,000).
*At Employee level on IPRLU, the employee specifies the employee’s Federal Supplemental Tax Method that determines if the Supplemental tax should be calculated for this employee
*If Federal Supplemental tax is to be calculated for an employee, UPCALC will internally pass the ‘FLAT’ Percentage Method to Symmetry that will calculate FSP Tax using the federal 25% or 35%
*Regardless if the Supplemental Wages are paid WITH or WITHOUT the Regular Wages, Federal Supplemental tax is calculated using this ‘FLAT’ Percentage Method by Symmetry

Prorating the taxable benefit deductions will cause a slight difference in the tax calculated. Clients will need to consider their business processes to determine if they would prefer the taxable benefits to be prorated or not. Some clients may want to prorate section 125 deductions and not 401k deductions.

The following table lists the States that are with and without the Supplemental Tax Percent as of Sept 2006.
!IPUTP - Supplemental Tax Method by State
When UPUTR is run, it automatically loads in the two Miscellaneous Identifiers for each State, to provide the Default Supplemental Tax Method:\\ \\SUP_PAID_WITH_REG\\SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG\\ \\Default Value: should be set to 'FLAT' or 'CURRAGG', depending on each State\\Provided By: always set to 'Internal'. When UPCALC is passing the State Misc Parms to Symmetry, UPCALC will not pass the State Misc Parm that are defined as 'Provided By' = 'Internal'.
At line 190 changed 2 lines
*In UPCALC, if an employee is paid Supplemental Wages with the Regular Wages in the same pay, then the 'SUP_PAID_WITH_REG' default value will be used
At line 259 added one line
*In UPCALC, if an employee is paid Supplemental Wages without the Regular Wages in the same pay, then the 'SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG' default value will be used
At line 194 changed one line
!IPRLU - Supplemental Tax Method by Employee
At the Employee level, employees can optionally override the default State Sup Tax Method on IPUTP for:\\* SUP_PAID_WITH_REG\\* SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG \\
At line 264 added 4 lines
If there is no override by an employee, there is no need to set up these Misc Tax Parm. \\ \\
For the IPRLU Federal and State Tab Suppl Tax Method explanation, please refer to the PR_US_IPRLU_methods_v1.0.doc or later. \\ \\
When an employee is paid with Supplemental wages, the IPRLU Federal and State Tab Suppl Tax Method determines if the Supplemental Wages are to be taxed or not, and which Suppl Tax Method is to be used. \\ \\
When the State Supplemental tax is to be calculated by Symmetry, the IPUTP State specific tax method from SUP_PAID_WITH_REG or SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG will be passed to Symmetry for calculation, depending on if the Supplemental wages are paid with or without Regular wages (either FLAT or CURRAGG is used).

! Prorating Taxable Benefits for State Supplemental Pay
At line 199 changed one line
3.2 State Supplemental Tax – WITH or WITHOUT Regular Pay
Like with the Federal Supplemental Pay, taxable benefits can be prorated between regular state wages and supplemental wages when both are paid together. This is controlled by the set up of the elements attached to specific pay components, as indicated below.
At line 273 added one line
Prorating the taxable benefit deductions will cause a slight difference in the tax calculated. Organizations need to consider their business processes to determine if they would prefer the taxable benefits to be prorated or not. Some organizations may want to prorate Section 125 deductions and not 401k deductions.

• Depending on if the Supplemental Wages are paid WITH or paid WITHOUT the Regular Wages, each State may have different methods to handle Supplemental taxes. Please refer to this link:
UPCALC reviews the set up of the following State PC Usages to determine if it should prorate the taxable benefit deductions. \\
__NOTE__: If the State Level Benefit PC Usages are not set up on IPPC, then the Federal Level Benefit PC Usages that are described in the Federal section will be used.

An Example for the State of Maryland below shows the differences of the State Supplemental Tax results when the ‘FLAT’ or ‘CURRAGG’ tax methods are used.
Maryland GEO: 24-001-1713506 Allegany
Paid with Regular Wages
Paid at Different Time than Regular Wages
Add to regular wages and Withhold on total
Withhold at 6.25% plus rate applicable to county of residence
Or Add to regular wages, compute tax on total, and Subtract tax withheld on regular wages
• Local Level Supplemental Tax Method uses the same State Level Supplemental Tax Method
For Example: State of Maryland:
1) Supplemental is Paid with Regular Wages, when SSP Method = ‘Flat Percent Method’
- this actually uses Method ‘Paid at Different Time than Regular Wages’
Maryland Sup Rate 916.96 x 6.25% = 57.31
Local Rate for Allegany County, MD 916.96 x 0.0305 = 27.97
= 85.28 : PC 6052
Res SIT + Res Supp Tax 214.07 + 85.28 = 299.35 Note: Higher than ‘CURRAGG’ method
2) Sup is Paid with Regular Wages, when SSP Method = ‘Current Aggregation’
Res SIT + Res Supp Tax 214.07 + 71.52 = 285.59 Note: same result as Vertex below
3) Sup is Paid with Regular Wages, Vertex Supplemental tax for Maryland:
Work SIT = Res SIT + Res Supp Tax = 285.59
In Conclusion for Maryland:
• When Sup is paid WITH Regular Wages, the ‘Current Aggregation’ method should be used
• When Sup is paid WITHOUT Regular Wages, the ‘Current Aggregation’ or ‘Flat’ method can be used
3.3 IPUTP – Supplemental Tax Method by State
- when UPUTR is run, UPUTR automatically loads in two Miscellaneous Identifiers for each State to provide the Default Supplemental Tax Method:
SUP_PAID_WITH_REG
SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG
Default Value - this contains ‘FLAT’ or ‘CURRAGG’ depending on each State
Provided By - always ‘Internal’
- when UPCALC is passing State Misc Parms to Symmetry, UPCALC will not pass the State Misc Parm that are with ‘Provided By’ = ‘Internal’
- in UPCALC, if an employee is paid Supplemental Wages with the Regular Wages in the same pay, then the ‘SUP_PAID_WITH_REG’ Default Value will be used
- in UPCALC, if an employee is paid Supplemental Wages without the Regular Wages in the same pay, then the ‘SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG’ Default Value will be used
3.4 IPRLU – Supplemental Tax Method by Employee
- at employee level, the employee may optionally override the default State Sup Tax Method on IPUTP for:
SUP_PAID_WITH_REG
SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG
- if there is no override by employee, there is no need to set up these Misc Tax Parm
- for IPRLU Federal and State Tab Suppl Tax Method explanation, please refer to: PR_US_IPRLU_methods_v1.0.doc or later
- when an employee is paid with Supplemental wages, the IPRLU Federal and State Tab Suppl Tax Method determines if the Supplemental Wages are to be taxed or not, and which Suppl Tax Method is to be used
- once when the State Supplemental tax is to be calculated by Symmetry, then IPUTP State specific tax method from SUP_PAID_WITH_REG or SUP_PAID_WITHOUT_REG will be passed to Symmetry for calculation depending on if the Supplemental wages are paid with or without Regular wages, therefore FLAT or CURRAGG is passed
3.5 Prorating Taxable Benefits for State Supplemental Pay
Like with the Federal Supplemental Pay, taxable benefits may be prorated between regular state wages and supplemental wages when both are paid together. This is controlled by the set up of elements attached to specific pay components as indicated below.
Prorating the taxable benefit deductions will cause a slight difference in the tax calculated. Clients will need to consider their business processes to determine if they would prefer the taxable benefits to be prorated or not. Some clients may want to prorate section 125 deductions and not 401k deductions.
UPCALC reviews the set up of the following State PC Usages to determine if it should prorate the taxable benefit deductions: If the State Level Benefit PC Usages are not set up on IPPC, then the Federal Level Benefit PC Usages that are described in the Federal section will be used.
6653 - Pre-State 125 Exemption - Regular Tax (PPE)
6654 - Pre-State 401 Exemption - Regular Tax (PPE)
6656 - Pre-State 125 Exemption - Supplemental Tax (PPE)
6657 - Pre-State 401 Exemption - Supplemental Tax (PPE)
At line 337 changed 2 lines
 No Supplemental Element is associated to the Supplemental PC Usages listed above, UPCALC will prorate all of the section 125 and 401k deduction amounts between Regular and Supplemental
 A Supplemental Element has been associated to the Supplemental PC Usage, the Element is defined with PCs and those PCs have amounts, UPCALC will use the Element and prorate the taxable benefits defined in the element.
*No Supplemental Element is associated to the Supplemental PC Usages listed above. UPCALC will prorate all of the Section 125 and 401k deduction amounts between Regular and Supplemental.
*A Supplemental Element has been associated to the Supplemental PC Usage. The Element is defined with PCs and those PCs have amounts. UPCALC will use the Element and prorate the taxable benefits defined in the element. This element should not be the same element as the one associated to the regular Pre-Tax Benefit PC, such as 7901, 7902.

Set Up Options to Prorate Section 125 Taxable Benefits between State Regular Wages and Supplemental:
1. In IPPC do not associate an element to PC Usage 6656 - Pre-State 125 Exemption - Supplemental Tax (PPE).
This will cause UPCALC to prorate all of the section 125 taxable benefit deductions that are defined in the element tied to PC Usage 6653 Pre-State 125 Exemption - Regular Tax (PPE).
2. If only certain Sect 125 deductions should be prorated, define an element in IPPE that only lists the 125 deductions that should be prorated between Federal and Supplemental. In IPPC attach this element to the Pay Component tied to PC Usage 6656 - Pre-State 125 Exemption - Supplemental Tax (PPE)
