Use this tab to review and modify tax information for the employee that was specified on the Select tab. This tab displays the Jurisdiction, SUTA Weeks, Employee Subject Earnings, Employer Subject Earnings, Gross Taxable Earnings, Employee Amount, and/or Employer Amount for each Tax Type. Please use discretion when editing or deleting any tax information.

Taxes: The Taxes table contains detailed tax information for the specified employee. Use the Taxes table to view, enter, or change the tax types, jurisdictions, SUTA (State Unemployment) weeks, employee subject earnings, employer subject earnings, gross taxable earnings, employee amounts, and/or employer amounts. Tax Type, Jurisdiction (if tax type is SWT, SUTA, Employee Paid (LWT), or Employer Paid (LER), and Employee/Employer Amount are required boxes.

Total Hours: This is the employee's total for the Hours column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Gross Pay: This is the employee's total for the Amount column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

If you have changed the amounts of any earnings, benefits, or deductions that are used in the calculation of any federal, state, or other withholding taxes, or workers' compensation, the related tax, benefits, deductions, workers' compensation, and/or leave amounts can be incorrect. Furthermore, be aware that any changes made to earnings can affect benefits, deductions, workers' compensation, and leave.
When you click Save, the system asks you if you want to recalculate.
- Select "Yes" to automatically recalculate any federal, state, or other withholding taxes and related taxable subject earnings. (If you want workers' compensation, deductions, leave, and/or benefits to recalculate you need to delete the affected employee's calculated payroll, perform the edits in the employee's Regular or Supplemental Timesheet, using Timesheets>Enter Regular/Supplemental Timesheets, and then recalculate payroll.)
- Select "No" to save without recalculating. Therefore, you must manually adjust taxes, workers' compensation, benefits, deductions, and/or leave for any such changes you make. If you do manually adjust taxes, benefits, deductions, workers' compensation, or leave amounts, remember to also adjust the related subject earnings.
When performing an all-in-one catch, due to the Employee’s Social Security Tax Percent of Wages decreased after the first pay date of the year has occurred. If you entered the Percent of Wages and selected the Year-to-Date Calculation Method using the Maintain>Payroll>Federal Taxes - Employee FICA Taxes tab, the system adjusts the employee's payroll check to ensure year-to-date withholding and expense accruals are accurate to the point in time when the check is calculated. A negative employee subject earnings amount is possible due to prior over withholding.
On the Timesheet, taxes are not calculated for any Earnings Code with the Contribute to Net Pay Only check box (Maintain>Payroll>Earning Codes) selected.
