Note that the IDFDV Identifier ‘W2-SUI-WAGE-ER’ is not used to report this field because the value of Identifier ‘W2-SUI-WAGE-ER’ may already been capped by Vertex during the US Tax calculation in UPCALC and therefore for employees who exceed the maximum wage base, this Identifier will contain no SUI Insurance wages.
