The IRS has posted new tax rates for 2013. The notice can be found here http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/n1036.pdf
You will need to update your tax tables in PowerChurch with the new rates. The employee portion of social security is going back to 6.2%.
There is one change that will require a calculation change. Medicare now has an additional .9% withholding on amounts over $200,000.
