Example of Loading Initial Balances

In this example, you create balance initialization records to initialize an employee's federal and state-level balances.

When initializing year-to-date and quarter-to-date balances, you also initialize any related balances. For example, when initializing FIT Withheld balance, related balances such as FIT Exempt and FIT Gross too are initialized.
