Considerations and Prerequisites

For employee Reporting Information cards

The values entered on the Reporting Information Calculation Card are passed on the quarterly tax file and update the employee for year-end reporting. You need to create a Federal and Regional calculation component that includes the proper regional association for the state or territory that the person is employed and must set the appropriate fields for each.

For Retiree Reporting Information cards

A retiree’s tax card and TRU association has a one-to-one relationship with the Reporting Information card. For every tax card TRU association, there must be a corresponding Retiree Reporting Information component. When you create a TRU association on the tax card, the association process automatically creates a Reporting Information card with a Retiree Reporting Information component associated to the same TRU.
