How do you add a local tax to payroll? (we have a city and county percentage tax).

There are three steps required to add a state,country or local city tax.

1. Create the Tax Table Basically since its a percentage tax (I'm assuming that these are separate taxes, right), you would create it using the Payroll Maintain Tax Tables as described in the manual on page 293. Again, if you're talking about two separate taxes, that would be two separate tax tables.

2. Create an Item Description. An Item Description is the actual item you will be adding to each employee's payroll items. The setup is listed on page 287 of the manual. You will need to create Liability items for each additional tax to hold the withheld funds.

3. Add the Item Description to each employee. This is covered on page 300 of the manual.

Again, with the latest Maintenance Release, Powerchurch Software has now included an Adobe Acrobat version of the manual, so if you don't have a copy handy, you can access the Powerchurch\PCPLUS115 directory and find that PDF file there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I had read the directions on the manuel....just wasn't hitting the arrow down on the item type so I couldn't figure out how to add it in.

Thanks so much!!!
