!MA – 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:
#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 Massachusetts.
#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.	
\\   \\

IPUTR - Employer SUTA Surcharge Tax
#Iowa Reserve Fund - The Tax Rate for the Iowa Reserve Fund is set at 0 by the government, therefore this tax is not calculated
#Iowa Administrative Surcharge Tax - The Tax Rate is set at 0 by the government, therefore this tax is not calculated

#Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund - By default, these taxes will be calculated unless the [IPUTR] ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle is checked or [IPRLU] ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’
#Massachusetts Unemployment Health Insurance - By default, these taxes will be calculated unless the [IPUTR] ‘Do Not Calculate’ toggle is checked or [IPRLU] ‘SUI ER Method’ = ‘Do not Calculate’
#*The wages that are used to calculate UHI are the same wages that are used for ER SUTA
#*An override percentage or override wage base can be specified, if zero, the built in rate and wage base will be used as specified by the government
