Pennsylvania local EIT may require configuration in these areas.

For this

  2. Configure your organizations for Pennsylvania local tax withholding.

Configure Philadelphia city tax withholding

The payroll process automatically withholds city taxes for people living or working in Philadelphia. However, you must perform some configuration for employees who receive tips.

Adjust balances for Pennsylvania local taxes

If balance adjustments are required for taxes that are subject to Pennsylvania Act 32 reporting, you must perform each adjustment individually for each type of balance (city, school, and local). There are multiple balances that support Pennsylvania Act 32, such as city withheld and local withheld.

Temporary work assignments in Pennsylvania

For employees who experience a change in work assignment of 3 or more months:

  2. When the assignment is complete, change it back.

Work assignments that last fewer than 3 months don't require any configuration.
