Employee Tax Code File Maintenance
Application Overview
Employee Tax Code File Maintenance application allows the user to maintain additional state or city tax codes per employee. These tax codes are in addition to the default state and city tax codes in the Employee file. The state or city withholding tax amount will be calculated the same as the default tax codes in the Employee file. The tax code calculation applies to all the hours worked or the entire salary in the pay period. The tax code may be active or inactive for each pay period.
NOTE: This application needs only to be used if multiple state or city withholding tax amounts must be calculated for the employee.

Employee Name | 28 alphanumeric characters. This field will display automatically when a valid employee number is found. Employee name will display again as described in field 1 above. |
2. Tax Entity Type | 1 alphanumeric character. Valid values are: S = State C = City This field cannot be left blank. |
3. Tax Code | 2 alphanumeric characters. The state or city tax code must have already been entered via the State/City Tax Code File application. The tax code entered here cannot match the tax code entered in the Employee File application for city or state. |

4. Table Id | 1 alphanumeric character. This is the counterpart of field 4 above for the tax code. This table ID must have already been entered via the State/City Tax Code File application.

You may enter either the number of exemptions for this employee when the Number Of Exm is displayed, or the flat dollar amount of the annual exemption when the $ Of Exemption appears. This allows flexibility in calculating the withholding tax for various states and cities. See the Package Overview section entitled State and City Tax Calculations for more information. Values of 98 or 99 in this field have a special significance, in connection with the added withholding tax field for the employee. If the number of exemptions is entered as 98, no withholding calculations will be done, but the added tax amounts will be treated as percentages, and the amount of tax withheld will be equal to the added tax amount (percent) times the employee taxable gross pay. If the number of exemptions entered is 99, then the withholding tax will be equal to the added withholding tax field. |
