CALIFORNIA 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

California State Tax Calculation#

On IPUTR, there is a list of applicable taxes to be calculated for State of California:
06-000-0000-SIT-000California State Tax
06-000-0000-SSP-000California Supplemental Tax
06-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000California State Unemployment Tax
06-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-004California Employment Training Tax
06-000-0000-SDI-000California SDI
06-000-277593-ER_POP-000San Francisco Payroll Expense



CA – IPRLU Set Up#

The Miscellaneous Tax Parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers
Miscellaneous IdentifiersDescription
FILINGSTATUSMandatory
S'-single, 'M'-married, or 'H'-head of household
REGULARALLOWANCESOptional
ADDITIONALALLOWANCESOptional
SUPPLEMENTALOptional
If this is blank, the Default Value from IPUTP will be used

California has two Supplemental rates: one rate for Bonuses and one rate for Commissions
If BONUS is set, the higher Supplemental rate will be used
If COMMISSION is set, the lower Supplemental rate is used. e.g. for 2011, the lower rate of 0.066 will be used

To calculate Supplemental Tax at higher rate, set up as ‘BONUS’



CA – 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 the ER SUTA rate by state:

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



CA – Employee SDI#




CA – IPPC / PC Usages#

IPPC – Set up Pay Components by PC Usages

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

UsageDescription
7140 State SUICA-Employment Training Tax
7141 State SUICA-San Francisco PR Expense Tax



CA – Special Taxes#

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

IPUTR - Employer SUTA Surcharge Tax

  1. California Employment Training Tax
  2. CA-San Francisco PR Expense Tax

If the Tax Jurisdiction is for San Francisco, then ‘CA-San Francisco PR Expense Tax’ will be calculated and stored in the pay component with PC Usage 7141. If the pay component is not defined for PC Usage 7141, this tax will not be calculated.
