For converted Vertex users, in order to compare Vertex Head Tax result to Symmetry Head Tax result, the Head Tax Method ’02’ to ‘05’ can still be used. Symmetry will default to use Method ‘01’ for calculation
06 - Calc, Prorate by Period	Method ‘06’ is for Symmetry users only, the monthly Head Tax amount will be prorated for each pay period. Note: Proration is only performed for Employee Head Tax Amount The Employer OPT will not be prorated

CO – ER SUTA Rate#

ER SUTA may be bypassed on IPUTR with ‘Do not Calculate’ or IPRLU ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’.

There are two options to set up the ER SUTA rate by state:

1. IPUTR
   • Enter the SUTA ER rate that is given by the government on the Override Tax Rate field.
   • This rate is applicable for the entire company within the State of Colorado.
2. IDGV
   • If there is a specific rate given by the government for a different State Registration #, then enter the rate on IDGV by ‘Reg Type’; this overrides the IPUTR rate.
