Add information for local tax agents

You can use the
Local
screen to add or modify certain information to be used for local tax agents. For each individual tax, you can specify a different withholding ID and deposit schedule to use and also specify whether or not the client has nexus in this locality.
To access the screen, select
Setup
Clients
Payroll Taxes
Local

Local grid

The grid contains a list of the local taxes that apply to the selected client. If you want to specify a withholding ID to be used with a tax, enter it in the Withholding ID column. In addition, you can modify the deposit schedule for the agent that corresponds to each tax. If the client has nexus in this locality, you can specify that here by marking the checkbox in the Nexus column.
If you accessed the Local screen via
Payroll Tax Forms
tab of the
Payroll Consolidation Groups
screen, you can mark the
Do not consolidate
checkbox if you don't want local payroll tax forms to be consolidated with those of other clients in the consolidation group.

  • If no selection is made in the
    Default EIT Tax Collector
    field:
    • The

      field isn't available and ignored.
    • The 6-digit PSD code of the work location that is assigned to the tax item by the state of Pennsylvania, followed by a dash (-) and the 1st 2 digits of that PSD code is used as the PSD code in Box 20.
  • If a selection is made in the
    Default EIT Tax Collector
    field:
    • The
      W2 PSD Code
      field is enabled and allows a 2-digit code to be entered.
    • The 6-digit PSD code of the work location that is assigned to the tax item by the state of Pennsylvania, followed by a dash (-) and the 2 digits entered in the W2 PSD Code field is used as the PSD code in Box 20.
