MASSACHUSETTS 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

Michigan State Tax Calculation#

On IPUTR, there is a list of applicable taxes to be calculated for State of Michigan:
26-000-0000-SIT-000Michigan State Tax
26-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000Michigan State Unemployment Tax

If UPUTR is run with list of IDTX Jurisdictions, then the following entry may exist:

26-000-1619197-CITY-000Big Rapids City Tax
26-000-619906-CITY-000Albion City Tax
26-000-1617959-CITY-000Detroit City Tax


MI – IPRLU Set Up#

The Miscellaneous Tax Parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers
TOTALALLOWANCESOptional
Enter the total number of allowances
PREDOMINANT_CITYOptional

This is only used for Multiple Tax Jurisdictions
Note:Resident taxes are computed on ALL state wages, not just the wages earned in the resident city. In addition, if wages are earned in multiple Michigan cities (each having a withholding tax), only the “predominant” city is taxed for nonresident purposes. To indicate the “predominant” city, the “PREDOMINANT_CITY” State Miscellaneous parameter for Michigan needs to be set to the GNIS feature ID of the nonresident city.

e.g. set IPRLU PREDOMINANT_CITY to 1619197 for Big Rapids

In most cases, PREDOMINANT_CITY should not be entered. When this is entered, the Non-Resident tax will be calculated at Non-Resident rate.



MI – 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 Michigan.
  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.



MI – City Taxes#

IPUTR - Employer SUTA Surcharge Tax
  1. Iowa Reserve Fund - The Tax Rate for the Iowa Reserve Fund is set at 0 by the government, therefore this tax is not calculated
  2. Iowa Administrative Surcharge Tax - The Tax Rate is set at 0 by the government, therefore this tax is not calculated

If UPUTR is run with list of IDTX jurisdictions, the following entries will exist with the default City tax rates.

26-000-1619197-CITY-000Big Rapids City Tax
26-000-619906-CITY-000Albion City Tax
26-000-620755-CITY-000 Battle Creek City Tax
26-000-1617959-CITY-000Detroit City Tax

City taxes are calculated by GNIS code, please set up Pay Components for City Tax PC Usages.
