State W-2 Tax Info

It's not printing State info on my W-2 Forms!

Goldenseal payroll software uses calculators to calculate the state and local withholding info on W-2 forms and reports. You may need to fill them in, so you get the right values when printing your W-2 forms.

NOTE-- Current payroll tax updates already include calculators for your state, so you will only need to fiddle with calculators if you have local taxes, or other complications in your payroll setup.

To set up the payroll calculators, follow these steps:

1. Choose Calculators from the Options menu, and choose Payroll Taxes from the submenu.
2. Scroll to the State Income Tax item, and double-click on it.
3. Click in the table at right, and enter Tax Item into the first column.
4. Click in the second column, and enter the Tax Item for your state's income tax withholding.
5. If there is more than one Tax Item for state withholding, add a row to the table and repeat step 4.
6. Click OK.

Repeat the setup for any of the following that apply to your state:

• Local Income Tax
• State Disability Withheld
• SUTA Tax
• W2 Box 12a, 12b, 12c or 12d

When you have finished with the Payroll Tax calculators, click Done.
