MINNESOTA 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

Minnesota State Tax Calculation#

On IPUTR, there is a list of applicable taxes to be calculated for State of Minnesota:
27-000-0000-SIT-000Minnesota State Tax
27-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000Minnesota State Unemployment Tax
27-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-019Minnesota Workforce Enhancement Fee
27-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-042Minnesota Additional Assessment
27-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-043Minnesota Federal Loan Interest Assessment



MN – 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.

FILINGSTATUSMandatory
S'-single, 'M'-married, or 'MH'-married but w/h at higher single rate.
TOTALALLOWANCESOptional
Enter the total number of allowances



MN – 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 Minnesota.
  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.



MN – IPPC / PC Usages#

IPPC – Set up Pay Components by PC Usages
In order to to calculate the following taxes, please set up IPPC for these PC Usages:

UsageDescription
7340MN-Workforce Enhance Fee
7341MN-Addn Assessment Tax
7342MN-Fed Loan Assess Interest



MN – Special Taxes#

IPUTR - Employer SUTA Surcharge Tax

  1. Minnesota Workforce Enhancement Fee - 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’.
  2. Minnesota Additional Assessment - The Minnesota Additional Assessment is a percentage of the tax calculation not a percentage of the taxable wages. For the tax years 2006 through 2010, the rate is 14%.
  3. Minnesota Federal Loan Interest Assessment - The Minnesota Federal Loan Interest Assessment is set at a rate of 0, therefore this is not calculated.



MN – Trial Calc Example#

Symmetry Set Up - MN_01.jpg(info)

IPRLU Miscellaneous Tab

MN0001 FILINGSTATUS = S MN0002 TOTALALLOWANCES = 0

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn= 1940.61
PC 6042 Res SIT= 116.00
PC 8056 Res SSP Earn= 1834.75 x 6.25 % = 114.67 Round to nearest dollar
PC 6052 Res Supp Tax= 115.00
PC 6540 MN-Workforce Enhance Fee= 4115.39 x IPUTR 27-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-019 Tax Rate 0.0012
= 4.94
PC 6703 SUI ER Contr= 4115.39 x IPUTR 27-000-0000-ER_SUTA Override Tax Rate 0.0952
= 391.79
PC 6541 MN-Addn Assessment Tax= 391.79 x IPUTR 27-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-042 Tax Rate 0.14 = 54.85
