Legal Reporting Units for the US

A legal reporting unit (LRU) is the lowest level component of a legal structure that requires registrations.

Use LRUs to group your workers for tax reporting or to represent a part of your enterprise with a specific statutory or tax reporting obligation. To use an LRU for tax reporting purposes, you need to configure it as a tax reporting unit (TRU).

Use the Legal Reporting Units task in your implementation project to define and configure an LRU.

The first time you create a legal entity as a payroll statutory unit (PSU), the task automatically creates an associated LRU, which you can then identify as a TRU.

When you create an LRU that belongs to a PSU, the task automatically creates a TRU and associates it with the parent PSU. When you create an LRU that belongs to a legal employer (that's not also a PSU), you must select a parent PSU. In this way, a TRU is indirectly associated with a legal employer through the association with a PSU.

Defining an LRU involves using these tasks in your implementation project.
