US TAXATION PROCESSING - IPRLU TAX METHODS#
Overview#
This page describes the processing of each field on the Maintain US Tax Filing Information (IPRLU) screen that is used for US tax calculation using the Symmetry Tax Engine (STE) software.IPRLU and IPRLUS#
The IPRLU and IPRLUS forms are used to enter employee tax filing information.
Any fields that are solely used by Vertex have been prefixed with Vtx. The other non-prefixed fields are used by both Vertex and Symmetry.
The following tables describe the fields on IPRLU /IPRLUS which are used by the Symmetry Tax Engine (STE). The table also indicates the corresponding field description for the STE.
The Symmetry description may contain the actual field name or the programming reference of the STE function call. You may refer to the Symmetry documentation ste-java-interface.pdf if desired, but it is not required.
The following is a list of abbreviations and their meanings used throughout this document as well as in other Symmetry and payroll documentation.

| PTD | Period To Date |
| YTD | Year To Date |

Local Level#
Local Level Field Description#
| Local Tab Description | IPRLU Value | Symmetry Description |
|---|
| Local level Taxation is automatically calculated by Symmetry based on the GNIS location code (i.e.GEO Code). There is no need to set up Local tab information except to suppress certain Tax Calculation by entering 'Do Not Calculate' on the Local tab. If Additional information is needed in order to calculate the Local level tax, it will be set up on IPRLU MISCELLANEOUS Tab by Misc. Identifiers for the Local. These additional Local Misc Identifiers will be supplied by the system via IPUTP (Maintain US Tax Parameters) screen, the user then should set up on IPRLU MISC Tab with these Local Misc. Identifiers. | ||
