Setting Up Tax Area Information

Access the Tax Area Revisions form.

Description 1

Enter a description for the data items.

If you are entering state or provincial taxes, it is recommended that you start the descriptions with the two-letter state or province abbreviation.

This naming convention provides you with an easier search because the system groups all taxes with the same abbreviation together.

Co/Empl Paid (company/employee paid)

Enter a code that indicates whether the payroll tax associated with the tax authority is paid by the company, as an expense, or by the employee, as a deduction (withholding). Values are:

C: Company paid

E: Employee withheld

Method of Printing

Enter a code that identifies whether the PDBA is to be printed on the paystub or whether it is to be printed on a payment that is separate from other PDBAs. Values for pay types and payroll taxes include:

Y: Print on paystub (default).

S: Print separate payment (one item per payment).

C: Print separate payment (C types combined)

N: Do not print on paystub.

Values for DBAs include:

Y: Print as total deductions (default).

S: Print separate payment (one item per payment).

C: Print separate payment (include detail).

N: Do not print on paystub.

I:Print individual DBA codes.

T: Print by DBA print group.

The separate payment feature is not available for any payroll taxes being withheld from the employee's payment.

Statutory Code

Enter an alpha code from user-defined code (UDC) table 07/SC that specifies the two-character or three-character state or province code that prints on statutory reports such as W-2s and T4s.

For example, on W-2s and T4s, instead of printing 06, which might be the taxing authority for the state of Colorado, the system prints the statutory code CO.

A/P Voucher (Y,N) (accounts payable voucher [yes, no])

Enter a code that determines whether the system should generate a voucher for the DBA, tax, or wage attachment during the final update phase of the payroll processing cycle. Values are:

N: No.

Y: Yes.
