Tax Reporting Units for US Territories

Don't assign both US and territorial workers to the same tax reporting unit (TRU). You must set up one or more TRUs for each territory. Each territorial TRU must be specific to a single US territory.

If you have retirees in US territories, you must assign them to a separate TRU from the regular employees.

For each territorial TRU, in addition to any other standard configuration, do the following.

  1. Start the Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task from your implementation project.

  2. In Tax Reporting Unit, select Federal.

  3. In Territory Rules, specify the following.

    Field name

    What you enter

    Territory Identifier

    Select your territory.

  4. Under Tax Reporting Unit, click the appropriate territory's link.

  5. In W-2 Reporting Rules Overrides, enter the following as needed.
