US_LOCAL_RECIPROCITY

LOCAL RECIPROCITY#

The Local Reciprocity field in IPRLU/IPRLUS should be used for employees whose local tax calculations need to be overridden. This field should not be populated with a field preference; it should only be used for exceptions.

One exception may be in Ohio where some cities have imposed a local tax for certain zip codes and street addresses only. Canfield and Cincinnati are two examples of this. The GNIS alone is not sufficient for the STE to determine whether city tax should not be calculated for an employee in either of these cities, therefore the system will calculate the tax by default. If the employee happens to live on a street/zip code that is a no-tax area, this would be an exception and therefore the Local Reciprocity field is needed to override the tax calculation.

A discoverer report may be written to list all Ohio employees and their home addresses. Using this list of employees, a user can verify the local taxation using the Ohio Tax Finder website (https://thefinder.tax.ohio.gov/StreamlineSalesTaxWeb/default_Municipal.aspx) where you can input the employee’s exact address or you can check the City’s web page (http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/finance/income-taxes/resources-references/street-listings-guide/ for Cincinnati).

After determining the legislated rules for the employee’s location and if the STE tax calculations need to be overridden then the Local Reciprocity can be defined in IPRLUS.

If the user wants the employee to be taxed by Res City tax only in this situation, user must set up IPRLU Local Reciprocity.

School Tax Method#

Under normal circumstances, School District Taxes are calculated based on employee’s Resident Jurisdiction. Users do not need to set up IPRLU School Tax Method except to suppress the School Tax calculation.

However, in some situations if user wants to zero out Resident School Tax or Work School Tax after Symmetry calculation, user may do by selecting an override in the School Tax Method field.
