To assign the correct tax rate, open the Employee account and
enter the correct state tax package into the Tax Package field.
Choose the tax package according to where the employee resides,
not where he or she works.
NOTE: Starting in 2000, state
and local taxes were
combined into one
amount. Starting in
2008, there is a separate
Tax Package for each
county, rather than
for each withholding
rate. In 2011,
we went back to having
separate line items for
state and local
taxes, so they can be
separated on the W-2
form.
To enter withholding information for an employee in your Goldenseal company file, follow these steps:
- Choose
Employees from the Accounts
menu.
- Locate
the employee record.
- Click
the Payroll Setup button.
- Enter
the employee's marital status
into the Marital Status field.
This is used only to calculate
Federal taxes.
- Choose
the correct Tax
package for the
employee's place
of residence.
- Enter
the number of federal dependents
into the Federal Exemptions
field.
- Enter
the number of dependents
into the State Exemptions
field.
- Click
OK.
