Indiana charges both state and county income taxes.
See State of Indiana Departmental Notice #1,
available from the Indiana Department of Revenue,
for a listing of local tax rates for each county.
The state withholding rate did not change in 2000. About 8 counties changed rates (a few of the 92 counties are
pretty much guaranteed to change every year).
NOTE-- A couple Indiana counties have rate percentages out to 4 decimals (e.g. Whitley is 1.6829%). Our accounting software can go exactly that far, but not any further. On a $1000 weekly payroll amount, that last decimal place is worth 1/10 cent of tax collection.
Indiana makes payroll extremely
complicated for companies doing work in multiple counties. You may need to use a large number
of different wage schedules, so you can identify
the wages earned in each county. Fortunately, in 2017 Indiana removed the separate non-resident rates for each county. Now there are half as many tax tables and tax items to deal with.
HINT-- Turtle Creek Software provides free annual
updates to
our payroll software users, for US federal and
Indiana tax withholding tables and formulas.

County Taxes |
Each Indiana county has its own tax rate, which means a large number of Tax Tables and Tax Items.
NOTE-- We have changed
the basic setup
for county taxes,
starting with
the 2005 tax
year. It is now
much easier to
set up for work
in multiple counties,
though still
much more effort
than other states.
You'll need to set
up a Tax
Package for each county tax rate for which you need
to withhold. To do that, follow these
steps:
- Choose
Payroll Setup from
the Costs menu, and
choose Tax Packages
from the submenu.
- Click
the New button (or
click on an existing
package and click
the Duplicate button).
- Click
next to each tax
that is included
in this package.
- Click
OK. Then repeat steps
2 and 3 to create
more packages, or
click Close to leave
the setup window.
If employees are withheld
at more than one county rate, follow
these steps:
- Choose
Payroll Setup from
the Costs menu, and
choose Wage
Schedules from the submenu.
- Click
the New button (or
click on an existing
schedule and click
the Duplicate button).
- Enter
the appropriate tax
package in the Tax
Package field.
- Click
OK. Then repeat steps
2 and 3 to create
more wage schedules,
or click Close to
leave the setup window.
- Enter
the appropriate
Wage Schedule into
each
Labor
Hours record, when
you enter employee
hours
into Goldenseal.
