CALIFORNIA STATE TAX CALCULATION#

State Tax Calculation - General Set Up#

Please refer to document PR_US_Federal_Tax_Calc.doc '€˜General Set Up'€™ section for all set up requirement.

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
