Override Vertex Rules for Courtesy Taxes at the Employee Level
There are cases where you have to override the default courtesy tax withholding rules for an individual employee.
Overview of Your Options
If you need to override these rules, there are a couple options available to you.
You can do this |
What it does |
---|---|
Resident wage accumulation |
This method determines how the result of one tax calculation affects the results of another. |
Taxation address overrides |
In cases when a person's home address alone isn't specific enough to identify the proper taxing authority, you use tax address overrides to designate an alternate taxing jurisdiction. |
For further info, see the following sections.
Resident Wage Accumulation
In this example, your policy is to provide courtesy tax withholding to all workers except interns. Therefore, you define employee-level exemptions for them. This involves applying a resident wage accumulation rule of "No resident tax if work or resident location mismatch, accrue if taxed" to their resident city.
These steps assume you're withholding courtesy city taxes for Gahanna, Ohio. So you're now refining those courtesy tax rules to make the distinction between employees and interns. For further info, see Override Vertex Rules for City Courtesy Taxes in the Help Center.
