ALABAMA STATE TAX CALCULATION#

State Tax Calculation - General Set Up#

Please refer to the US Federal Tax Calculation document's 'General Set Up' section for all set up requirements.

At state level, the following screens should be verified set up for each state:

IPUTR#

This screen is used to:

view US Tax Rates by state and to enter the Overridden rates and Wage Base.
suppress some SUTA Surcharge Calculation for some states by checking the 'Do not Calculate' toggle

IPUTP #

This screen is used to:

view US Tax Miscellaneous Parameters by the states that are applicable for IPRLU

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

IPRLU/IPRULS #

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 specify the default Work Jurisdiction and Home Jurisdiction
In the Pay Lines tab, the Jurisdiction field must specify the Work Jurisdiction of this pay line
After Trial Calc or UPCALC, the Pay Amounts tab will contain all US Taxation amounts in summary that are used for the calculation of net pay
The Pay Jurisdiction tab contains the default Work Jurisdiction and Home Jurisdiction
After Trial Calc or UPCALC, the Pay Jurisdiction tab contains all US Taxation amounts by jurisdiction in detail

Alabama State Tax Calculation#

On IPUTR, there is a list of applicable taxes to be calculated for state of Alabama:

01-000-0000-SIT-000	Alabama State Tax
01-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000	Alabama State Unemployment Tax
01-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-001	Alabama Employment Security Assessment

Alabama State may calculate County or City tax depending on the County and City portion of the GNIS code.

On IDTX, after the list of Tax Jurisdictions are specified for the State of Alabama, UPUTR can be re-run to select Alabama and the list of Jurisdictions for Alabama in order to generate applicable Tax entries for CNTY and CITY tax.

The following entry examples are for information purposes only, the taxes are calculated based on GNIS code even if these entries do not exist on IPUTR.

01-087-0000-CNTY-000	Macon County Tax
01-000-123503-CITY-000	Mountain Brook City Tax

AL – IPRLU Set Up#

The Miscellaneous Tax Parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers. If these identifiers do not exist, UPCALC will generate the default entries for the identifiers.

Miscellaneous Identifiers	Description
FILINGSTATUS	Mandatory 'S'-single, 'M'-married, 'MS'-married filing separate, 'H'-head of household, or '0' (the number zero)
DEPENDENTS	Optional, enter the number of dependents

Under the Local tab, the City and County Tax Methods must be defined in order for the local tax to be calculated.

AL – ER SUTA Rate#

ER SUTA may be bypassed on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’.

There are two options to set up ER SUTA rate by state:

IPUTR
- Enter the SUTA ER rate that is given by the government on Override Tax Rate field
- This rate is applicable for the entire company for State of Alabama
IDGV
- If there is a specific rate given by the government for different State Registration #, then enter on IDGV by ‘Reg Type’; this overrides the IPUTR rate

AL – IPPC / PC Usages#

IPPC – Set up Pay Components by PC Usages

In order to calculate the following taxes, please set up IPPC for these PC Usages:

Usage	Description
7110 State SUI	AL-Employment Security Tax

AL – Special Taxes#

By default, the following taxes will be calculated unless the IPUTR ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle is checked or IPRLU ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’

IPUTR - Employer SUTA Surcharge Tax

Alabama Employment Security Assessment
