US TAXATION PROCESSING - IPRLU TAX METHODS#
Overview#
This page describes the processing of each field on the Maintain US Tax Filing Information (IPRLU) form 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.
The following tables describe the fields on IPRLU /IPRLUS forms 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. Users can 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 |

IPRLU - Railroad Taxation#
| Federal Tab | IPRLU Value | Symmetry Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tier1 SOC Method | Lexicon: X_URR_TIER1_SOC_METHOD | - Used to calculate RRTA Tier I and Tier II |
| 01 - RR SOC Self Adjust | - It is recommended that the 'Self Adjust' method should only be used when users want to re-calculate and adjust the entire Year's Railroad tax calculation. Otherwise the 'No Self Adjust' method should be used. - If an employee works between Railroad and Non-Railroad Assignments, the 'Self-Adjust' method cannot be used because Railroad Tier2 Tax will also be 'Self-Adjust' and thus causing the non-Railroad Assignment earnings to be adjusted to pay Tier2 contribution. UPCALC will automatically default to use the 'No Self Adjust' method. | |
| 02 - RR SOC No Self Adjust | - This is the Recommended Tax Method | |

| 01 - RR Tier2 Self Adjust | - RUIA will be calculated. There is no need to set up the 'Self-Adjust' or the 'No Self Adjust' method | |

Local level Taxation is automatically calculated by Symmetry based on the GNIS location code, such as the GEO Code.There is no need to set up Local tab information except to suppress certain Tax Calculations 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 the IPUTP (Maintain US Tax Parameters) form. Users then should set up the IPRLU MISC Tab with these Local Misc. Identifiers.
