Tax Table Updates

South Carolina has state income tax withholding. The
payroll tax tables changed slightly in 2021 (there have been 11 changes in the past 31 years).
For a long time, the South Carolina tables use subtraction rather than addition for each "step"-- one of only a few states to do so. In 2017 they added the option to use additions instead, so we switched to that for our tables. Both methods give the same results.
HINT-- Turtle Creek Software provides free annual updates for
US federal and South Carolina tax withholding rates.
