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

UPRLU #

This process audits the US Tax Filing information and generates IPRLU Miscellaneous Tax Parameters information according to IMCT set up

IPPH #

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

06-000-0000-SDI-000	California SDI
06-000-277593-ER_POP-000	San Francisco Payroll Expense

CA – IPRLU Set Up#

The Miscellaneous Tax Parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers

Miscellaneous Identifiers	Description
FILINGSTATUS	Mandatory S'-single, 'M'-married, or 'H'-head of household
REGULARALLOWANCES	Optional
ADDITIONALALLOWANCES	Optional
SUPPLEMENTAL	Optional 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:

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.
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#

California Employee SDI will be calculated and stored in PC with Usage 6721 – SDI Tax Deduction
EE SDI Rate and Wage Base are provided by the government and stored on IPUTR
This Rate and Wage Base may be overridden on IPUTR; the IPUTR values are applicable to the entire company
A specific overridden Rate and Wage Base may be entered on IDGV by ‘Reg Type’ = ‘US SDI Regist n’ and ‘Govt Rate Type’ = ‘US SDI EE Rate’
This calculation may be bypassed on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SDI EE Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’

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:

Usage	Description
7140 State SUI	CA-Employment Training Tax
7141 State SUI	CA-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

California Employment Training Tax
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.

CA – UPCALC Example#

Symmetry Set Up - CA_01.jpg

Work GEO: CA 06-075-277593 San Francisco, CA

IPRLU: FILINGSTATUS = S
SUPPLEMENTAL = COMMISSION

Manually calculated Taxable Income based on Element set up:

PC 1100 Regular + PC 2010 Pay In-Lieu	+ PC 3013 Gift Allowance (imputed income)
= 3269.24 + 1000	+ 21.35	= 4290.59

Less 125, 401K, 403B, 457, Simple IRA and custom benefits:etc

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn	= 2941.07	(note: same as PC 8005 FIT Earn)
PC 8056 Res SSP Earn	= 893.78	(note: same as PC 8015 FSP Earn)

PC 6045 Res SIT	= 189.54
PC 6047 Res Supp Tax	= 58.99	(893.78 x 0.066 = 58.99 lower rate is used)

PC 6703 SUI ER Contr	= 4159.83 x IPUTR 06-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000 Overridden Rate 0.004	= 16.64
PC 6340 CA-Employment Train	= 4159.83 x IPUTR 06-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-004 Rate 0.001	= 4.16

PC 6721 SDI EE	= 4159.83 x IPUTR 06-000-0000-SDI-000 Rate 0.012	= 49.92

PC 6341 CA-San Francisco Tax	= 4290.59 x IPUTR 06-000-277593-ER_POP-000 Rate 0.015	= 64.36

There are 2 options to set up 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 for State of District of Columbia

(2) 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

DC – Special Taxes#

IPPC – Set up Pay Components for these PC Usages

Usage Description 7170 DC-Admin Funding Tax 7171 DC-Solvency Tax

IPUTR – DC Special Taxes

(1) DC Administrative Funding Tax - the Tax Rate for DC Administrative Funding Tax is set at 0.002 by the government

(2) DC Solvency Tax - the Tax Rate is set at 0 by the government, therefore this tax is not calculated

DC – IPUTP Sup Pay Method#

- verify both Supplemental Pay Methods Default Value = ‘CURRAGG’ because DC does not have a flat withholding % for Supplemental Pay, therefore ‘CURRAGG’ should be used - if user does not want the State Tax to Round, enter NO to STATE_ROUNDING, the default for DC is Round

DC – UPCALC Example#

IPRLU MISCELLANEOUS Tab FILINGSTATUS = S TOTALALLOWANCES = 0

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn = 3004.25 PC 6045 Res SIT = 203.05, if IPUTP STATE_ROUNDING = DEFAULT, then this = 203.00

PC 8056 Res SSP Earn = 918.95 PC 6052 Res Supp Tax = 78.11, if IPUTP STATE_ROUNDING = DEFAULT, then this = 78.00

PC 6703 SUI ER Contr = 4269.23 x IPUTR 11-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000 Override Tax Rate 0.072 = 307.38

PC 6370 DC-Admin Funding Tax = 4269.23 x IPUTR 11-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-009 Tax Rate 0.002000 = 8.54
