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.
  • When generating the default identifier for FILINGSTATUS, the IPRLU State Filing Status will be used if this exists, otherwise the Federal Filing Status will be used.
    • If State / Federal Filing Status = ‘01’ – Single , then FILINGSTATUS = ‘A’
    • If State / Federal Filing Status = ‘02’ – Married , then FILINGSTATUS = ‘C’
    • If State / Federal Filing Status = ‘03’ – Head of Household, then FILINGSTATUS = ‘E’
    • If State / Federal Filing Status = ‘04’ – Married – File Separate, then FILINGSTATUS = ‘D’
    • If State / Federal Filing Status = ‘05’ – Married-File Jointly, then FILINGSTATUS = ‘C’
    • If State / Federal Filing Status = ‘06’ – Married-1 Spouse work, then FILINGSTATUS = ‘C’
