Which tables do I use?

PA uses a flat percentage for income tax withholding. As published in publication REV-415 (01-23), the rate is 3.07%.

How to setup/update the tables in PowerChurch Plus

To setup/update PowerChurch Plus with a PA state tax table, select the Accounting menu, Payroll, Setup, then Maintain Tax Tables.

Click Add to enter a new table, or use the Find/Locate buttons to select an existing PA tax table to update. When adding a new table, you will be prompted for the type of tax table you're adding. Select State: Pennsylvania. Enter the following information:

• Description: Enter a unique name to identify the tax table (for example, "PA State Tax").
• Tax type: The type of tax in which this table applies. In this instance, select State Tax.
• Percentage: Enter the current applicable rate (i.e. 3.07%).
• Cap: Currently PA does not have a cap for which tax no longer applies, therefore do not check this option. Be sure to consult current publications as this may change.
• Round tax to nearest whole dollar: If required, check this box to round the calculated tax amount to the nearest whole dollar.

When you are done, the screen should look like this:
