WYOMING 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

Wyoming State Tax Calculation#

On IPUTR, there is a list of applicable Taxes to be calculated for State of Wyoming:
56-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000Wyoming State Unemployment Tax
56-000-0000-ER_WC-000Wyoming Worker's Compensation - Employer

On IPUTP, the following state-specific Miscellaneous Identifiers will exist for State of Wyoming:
Miscellaneous IdentifiersDescription
WC_CORPORATE_OFFICERWyoming ER_WC Corporate Officer

If these Miscellaneous Identifiers do not exist, please run UPUTR for State of Wyoming to generate these.

WY – IPRLU Set Up #

  1. Wyoming State does not require to withhold State Tax, therefore Miscellaneous Tax Parameters are not required.
  2. The IPRLU State tab ‘WC Method’ can be set up with ‘Calc by US Taxation’ in order to calculate the Wyoming Workers Compensation contribution by Symmetry Taxation.
    • If WC Method = ‘Calc by IPWC Class’, this method uses the IPWC rates defined by WC class in order to calculate the Workers Compensation
    • If IPRLU WC Method is not set up, then IPPGU Pay Category WC Method will be used
    • If ‘WC Method’ = ‘Calc by US Taxation’ then IPRLU Miscellaneous tab can indicate if an employee is a corporate officer.

Miscellaneous IdentifiersDescription
WC_CORPORATE_OFFICEROptional
If this is not set up, IPUTP default set up is used

TRUE – Employee is a Corporate Officer
FALSE – Employee is NOT a Corporate Officer
  • This identifier indicates if the employee is either a corporate officer or a limited liability company member
  • If this is TRUE, then instead of using regular wages for the calculation, the STE will use the Wyoming average wage as published by the state of Wyoming.
  • If this identifier does not exist on IPRLU, UPCALC will not generate the default entries for this identifier on IPRLU. UPCALC will use the IPUTP default set up from WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER.


WY – 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 Wyoming.
  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.


WY – IPPC / PC Usages#

In order to calculate the following taxes, please set up IPPC for these PC Usages:
UsageDescription
7007Workers Comp Employer Tax
7008Workers Comp Earnings


WY – Employer Worker’s Compensation#

IPUTR – Wyoming Employer Worker’s Compensation
  • The ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle may be checked on IPUTR to bypass WC Calculation if desired
  • IPRLU or IPPGU may specify WC Method = ‘Calc by US Taxation’ to calculate WC
  • If IPRLU Miscellaneous Identifier WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER = ‘TRUE’
    • This indicates that the employee is either a corporate officer or a limited liability company member. In that case, instead of using the Regular Wages for the WC calculation, the Wyoming Average Wage that is published by the State of Wyoming will be used.
    • The Employer Worker’s Compensation will be calculated once a quarter. The reason is that all corporate officers are required to be taxed based upon an average wage and due to the average wage is being generated quarterly and cannot be prorated.
  • If IPRLU Miscellaneous Identifier WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER = ‘FALSE’
    • The Employer Worker’s Compensation will be calculated every pay based on the regular and supplemental wages


WY – UPCALC Example#

Example 1 - IPRLU Miscellaneous Identifier WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER = ‘FALSE’ Symmetry Set Up - WY_01.jpg(info) Note: Wyoming State Earnings are recorded even though Wyoming has no state tax. This is to facilitate employers to report State Earnings if it is required.

Pay# 1

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn= 2274.26 - Wyoming State Earnings are stored
PC 6042 Res SIT= 0 - Wyoming State has no State tax
PC 8056 Res SSP Earn= 909.71 - Wyoming State Earnings are stored
PC 6052 Res Supp Tax= 0 - Wyoming State has no State tax
PC 5332 Workers Comp ER= 3183.97 x IPUTR 56-000-0000-ER_WC-000 Override Tax Rate 0.005
= 15.92
PC 6703 SUI ER Contr= 3336.83 x IPUTR 56-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000 Override Tax Rate 0.101800
= 339.69

Pay# 2
Since WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER = ‘FALSE’, Employer Worker’s Comp is calculated based on All wages

PC 5332 Workers Comp ER= 60.71 x IPUTR 56-000-0000-ER_WC-000 Override Tax Rate 0.005
= 0.30
Example 2 - IPRLU Miscellaneous Identifier WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER = ‘TRUE’ Symmetry Set Up - WY_02.jpg(info) Note: Wyoming State Earnings are recorded even though Wyoming has no state tax. This is to facilitate employers to report State Earnings if it is required.

Pay# 1

PC 8046 Res SIT Earn= 2274.26 - Wyoming State Earnings are stored
PC 6042 Res SIT= 0 - Wyoming State has no State tax
PC 8056 Res SSP Earn= 909.71 - Wyoming State Earnings are stored
PC 6052 Res Supp Tax= 0 - Wyoming State has no State tax

Since WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER = ‘TRUE’, Employer Worker’s Comp is calculated based on Wyoming Average Wage that is published by the State of Wyoming for the quarter, i.e. 10172.49 for 2011

PC 5332 Workers Comp ER= 10172.49 x IPUTR 56-000-0000-ER_WC-000 Override Tax Rate 0.005
= 50.86
PC 6703 SUI ER Contr= 3336.83 x IPUTR 56-000-0000-ER_SUTA-000 Override Tax Rate 0.101800
= 339.69

Pay# 2
Since WC_CORPORATE_OFFICER = ‘TRUE’, Employer Worker’s Comp is calculated once a quarter, the PC 5332 Workers Comp ER will not be calculated again.
