US TAXATION PROCESSING - IPRLU TAX METHODS#
Overview#
This page describes the processing of each field on the âMaintain US Tax Filing Information (IPRLU) screen that are 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 provided.

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

3.2 IPRLU â 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 âSelf Adjustâ method should only be used when users want to re-calculate and adjust the entire Yearâs Railroad tax calculation, otherwise the âNo Self Adjustâ method should be used.
- If employee works between Railroad and Non-Railroad Assignments, the âSelf-Adjustâ method cannot be used because Railroad Tier2 Tax will also be âSelf-Adjustâ and thus causing the non-Railroad Assignment earnings to be adjusted to pay Tier2 contribution. UPCALC will automatically flips to use the âNo Self Adjustâ method.

The difference between the withholding on the combined Reg & Supp and the withholding on Reg wages is the supplemental withholding amount.

There is no need to set up Local Tab Information except to suppress certain Tax Calculation by entering âDo Not Calculateâ 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.
