!W4 and Miscellaneous Parameters
The Misc Tax Parameters must be provided for all States the employee lives and works in

;[Tax Parm|TAX_RATE_CODE]:Misc Tax Parameter is in the format of 'XXnnnn', where XX is the State code and nnnn is a sequential 4 digit number. The sequence is not pre-determined, it is simply the order in which the parameter was loaded in by [UPUTR]. The sequence is used to order the parameters and to distinguish them at the state level in [IPRLUS].
;[W4 Misc. Identifier|TAX_IDENTIFIER]:The Miscellaneous Identifier is used to 'identify' the state's tax parameters used to provide additional information as supplied by the client or employee to calculate the taxes. These parameters often simulate information requested on the withholding certificate of the state. For example, FILINGSTATUS is a common Miscellaneous Tax Identifier. 
;[Description|DESCRIPTION]:The Description field is used to display the name of the Tax Identifier without abbreviations.
;[Entered Value|FIELD_VARIABLE]:The Value field allows the Employee to provide their choice for the Tax Parameter. The Value field holds the valid value as indicated in the [Reference Text|REFERENCE_TEXT]. For example, for Filing Status the value may be S for single or M for married. The Values may be different for each state. 
;[Default|FIELD_VARIABLE]:The client may provide a default value to a Tax Identifier/Parameter. The default value will be used by [UPCALC] unless the Employee provides a Value in [IPRLU] or [IPRLUS]. The Default Value must be a valid value as indicated in the [Reference Text|REFERENCE_TEXT].
