RHODE ISLAND 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

When UPUTR is run with a list of IDTX jurisdictions, since there are no taxes applicable at the Local level, there are no other entries on IPUTR.


RI – 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

The IPRLU State tab ‘SDI EE Method’ must be set up in order to calculate State Disability Insurance for Rhode Island.

RI – 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 Rhode Island.
  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.


RI – SDI Rate#

Rhode Island State Disability Insurance is withheld from employee wages as a percentage of the employee’s taxable earnings until a wage base has been reached. This calculation may be bypassed on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SDI EE Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’

There are two options to set up SDI Rate by state:
  1. IPUTR - The default EE SDI Rate is supplied on the Tax Rate field.

    If there is a different EE SDI Rate, the SDI EE that is given by the Government can be entered on the Override Tax Rate field.
  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.


RI – Special Taxes#

IPUTR - Employer SUTA Surcharge Tax

By default, the following tax will be calculated unless the IPUTR ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle is checked or IPRLU ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’
Rhode Island Job Development Surcharge
The wages that are used to calculate this tax is the same wages that are used for ER SUTA


RI – UPCALC Example#

Symmetry Set Up - RI_01.jpg

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn= 3004.25
PC 6045 Res SIT= 121.57
PC 8056 Res SSP Earn= 918.95 x 7 %
PC 6052 Res Supp Tax= 64.33
PC 6703 SUI ER Contr= 3923.20 x IPUTR 44-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000 Override Tax Rate 0.103
= 404.09
PC 6721 SDI EE= 3923.20 x IPUTR 44-000-0000-SDI-000 Tax Rate 0.013
= 51.00
PC 5430 RI-Job Development Fund= 3923.20 x IPUTR 44-000-0000-ER_SUTA_SC-030 Tax Rate 0.0051

45.2 TN – Trial Calc Example

Work GEO: TN 47-000-0000 TENNESSEE, TN

Since there is no State Tax applicable for Tennessee, user may set up one IDTX Jurisdiction with 47-000-0000 and use this for all employees. Or the user may discretionally set up many IDTX Jurisdictions for the State of Tennessee if they prefer.

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn = 2183.31 PC 6042 Res SIT = Not calculated for State of Tennessee

PC 8056 Res SSP Earn = 908.25 PC 6052 Res Supp Tax Not calculated for State of Tennessee PC 6703 SUI ER Contr = 3403.85 x IPUTR 47-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000 Override Tax Rate 0.106 = 360.81

Note: Although State Taxes are not calculated, SIT and SSP Earnings are recorded for Information purpose.
