OREGON 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

Oklahoma State Tax Calculation#

On IPUTR, there is a list of applicable taxes to be calculated for State of Oklahoma:
40-000-0000-SIT-000Oklahoma State Tax
40-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000Oklahoma State Unemployment Tax


OK – IPRLU Set Up#

The Miscellaneous Tax parameters must be set up for the following Miscellaneous Identifiers.
Miscellaneous IdentifiersDescription
FILINGSTATUSMandatory
'S'-single, 'M'-married, or 'MH'-married but w/h at higher single rate.
TOTALALLOWANCESOptional
Enter the total number of allowances.


OK – ER SUTA#

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 Oklahoma.
  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.


OK – Trial Calc Example#

Work GEO: OK 40-149-2144230 - New Cordell, Oklahoma Symmetry Set Up - OK_01.jpg

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn= 1729.97
PC 8056 Res SSP Earn= 899.58

Miscellaneous IdentifiersDescription
STATE_ROUNDINGState Rounding Rule

The default value is always set to DEFAULT when this identifier is first created by UPUTR.

For State of Oregon, the Default Rounding Rule used by Symmetry is to ROUND the State Tax result.

If rounding the state tax is not desired, enter NO in this field.
  • In order to calculate the Transit tax for all employees, enter 'YES' to the applicable Transit Tax on IPUTP.
  • In order to calculate Transit Tax for certain employees, enter YES to the Transit Tax on IPRLU.

  • If the Workers Compensation Fund is to be calculated for an employee, the ‘WC Method’ in the IPRLU State tab must be set to ‘Calc by US Taxation’ or ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’.
  • WC Method ‘Calc by IPWC Class’ will use the rates defined by class in IPWC to calculate the Workers Compensation
  • If the IPRLU WC Method is not set up, then the IPPGU Pay Category WC Method will be used


OR – ER SUTA#

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 Oregon.
  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.


OR – IPPC / PC Usages#

IPPC – Set up Pay Components by PC Usages
In order to calculate the following taxes, set up IPPC for these PC Usages:
UsageDescription
6058Pre-FWT Hours - Total Hours worked, this is used for WC calculation
7006Workers Comp Employee Tax
7007Workers Comp Employer Tax
7480OR-Canby Transit Tax
7481OR- Lane Transit Tax
7482OR-Trimet Excise Tax
7483OR-Sandy Transit Tax
7484OR-Wilsonville Transit Tax
7485OR-S Clackamas Transit Tax


OR – County Tax#

On May 20, 2003, Multnomah county residents (GNIS Code 41-051-1135861) passed Measure 26-48, which established a temporary three year personal income tax on county residents. The tax was effective January 1, 2003 and is 1.25% of Oregon taxable income after an exemption deduction ($5,000 for joint filers and $2,500 for a single filer). The Multnomah County Tax was discontinued beginning January 1, 2006, thus STE will return zero for this County tax.

OR– Workers Comp Employee and Employer#

The Oregon Employee Workers Compensation Fund is computed as a dollar amount multiplied by the number of hours worked by the employee with no limit on the amount withheld. For 2011, the dollar amount is $0.014 and IPPC must be set up for PC Usage 6058 Pre-FWT Hours for Workers Comp.
  • The Oregon Employer Workers Compensation tax is computed on the hours worked by employees.
  • If the Workers Compensation Fund is to be calculated for an employee, the ‘WC Method’ in the IPRLU State tab) must be set to ‘Calc by US Taxation’ or ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’.
  • If the method is ‘Calc by US Taxation’, only the WC Fund will be calculated for the employee using the rate in IPUTR.
  • If the method is ‘Both by IPWC and US Taxation’, WC will be calculated using the rates defined in IPWC for Workers Compensation Class, as well as the WC fund rate defined in IPUTR. The WC amounts will be stored in separate pay components.
  • The ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle may be checked on IPUTR to bypass WC Calculation if desired.
  • If IPRLU WC Method is not set up, then the IPPGU Pay Category WC Method will be used.
Note: For Oregon Workers Compensation, in order to override the employee WC portion and move to the employer WC portion, then this employee WC portion becomes taxable and subject to SIT and SUTA tax.

In this case, WC should be calculated via Usercalc instead of by Symmetry.
  • In Usercalc, calculate the employee and employer WC portion and store in the pay component before US Taxation Pay point.
  • Then include this employee WC pay component into the Elements of Pre-State Earnings (Usage 6651) and Pre-SUI Employer Earnings (Usage 6752).
This approach truly reflects the Employee WC portion in the Pre-Tax Earnings pay components and will carry through the system for the use of Self-Adjust method etc.

OR – Transit Tax#

Oregon has levied a transit tax upon employers doing business within certain transit areas. There are six areas which have Transit tax which tax is upon regular and supplemental wages.

On IPUTR, there are six entries for Transit Tax

  • OR-Canby Transit Tax
  • OR- Lane Transit Tax
  • OR-Trimet Excise Tax
  • OR-Sandy Transit Tax
  • OR-Wilsonville Transit Tax
  • OR-S Clackamas Transit Tax
In order to calculate the Transit Tax for all employees, enter 'YES' for Transit Tax on IPUTP.
In order to calculate the Transit Tax for certain employee, enter 'YES' to the Transit Tax on IPRLU for each employee.

40.8 OR – UPCALC – Vertex Result

For Vertex Calculation, user must set up IPRLU State Tab Vtx. Alt Tax Method = ‘01’ in order to re-calculate State Tax using the Federal Tax based on State parameters. Also the State Tab Vtx # of Exemption 1 should = 1 in order to for Vertex to apply the ‘Standard Deduction in the tax formula’ to match the Symmetry Oregon State tax result as above.

PC 8045 Work SIT Earn = 2291.31 PC 8055 Work SSP Earn = 89.36

PC 6040 Work SIT = 170.44 (Rounding = NO) PC 6042 Work SIT Sup = 89.36 x 0.09 = 8.04

40.9 OR – Manual Calculation

Oregon Manual Tax Calculation from:

http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/BUS/payroll_updates.shtml http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/forms/business/withholding_formulas_150-206-436_2011.pdf

Using the formula from Annual wages of $50,000 or higher

Annual Wages 2291.31 x 26 = 59574.06 Federal Tax: 403.06 x 26 = 10479.56 Since Wages <= $125.000, use PHASE OUT = 5950.00 BASE Wages 59574.06 – 5950.00 = 53624.06

Symmetry Calculation:

BASE Wages = 53624.06 Standard deduction $1980 for Single = 1980 (note: Vertex user must set up Vtx Exemption 1 = 1, Otherwise the Standard deduction will not be applied) 53624.06 – 1980 = 51644.06

Annual Tax Calculation: WH = 481 + (BASE – 7750) x 0.09 – (179 x allowance) WH = 481 + (51644.06– 7750) x 0.09 – (179 x 0) WH = 481 + 3950.47 – 0 WH = 4431.47

State Tax for the period WH = 4431.47 / 26 = 170.44
