WASHINGTON 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

53-000-0000-SDI-000	Washington Industrial Insurance

There is no State Tax for Washington, therefore, IPRLU Miscellaneous Tax Parameters are not required to be set up.// //IPRLU State tab ‘SDI EE Method’ and ‘SDI ER Method’ must be set up for Washington Industrial Insurance.

WA – IPPC / PC Usages#

On IPPC, set up pay components for these PC Usages:

Usage	Description
6058	Pre-FWT Hours - Total Hours worked, this is used for SDI calculation
6721	SDI tax deduction
6723	SDI employer contribution
7610	WA-Class 1-40 Admin Fund
7611	WA-Reserved Tax

WA – 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:

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 Washington.
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.

WA – SDI Rate#

Washington Industrial Insurance tax is calculated as an hourly rate multiplied by the hours worked. These are treated as SDI tax and are to be contributed by both the employee and employer. IPPC must be set up for PC Usage 6058 Pre-FWT Hours in order to supply the Total Hours Worked. Both EE and ER Rate must be supplied on either the IPUTR or IDGV screen. This calculation may be bypassed on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SDI EE Method’ or ‘SDI ER Method’.

There are two options to set up SDI Rate by State:

IPUTR
- Enter the SDI EE and ER rate that is given by the Government on the Override Tax Rate field
IDGV
- If there is a specific rate given by the government for different State Registration #, then enter this on IDGV by ‘Reg Type’. This overrides the IPUTR Rate

WA – Special Taxes#
