State Tax Enrollment (TAXS)

The State Tax Enrollment (TAXS) transaction allows users to establish and modify an employee’s state tax deductions. This option is only available from the Deduction Management (DEDM) activity folder on the Employee State Tax Parameter tab and Pay (MEIPAY) (using manager or administrator views) on the Manage Tax Information tab when the MULTI_STATE_TAX Application Parameter (APPCTRL) is set to Y. When the MULTI_STATE_TAX APPCTRL entry is set to N, the Employee State Tax Parameter tab is not displayed on DEDM. All state tax information will be displayed on the Employee Tax Parameter tab.

Unlike the Employee Tax Parameter (TAX) transaction, TAXS allow users to enroll in more than one state tax deduction through the State Tax Enrollment tab. Employees are only able to enroll in states that are associated with the state tax deductions available with under the State Tax Class code the employee is enrolled. Only one state tax deduction is allowed to be set as an employee’s primary location, and each employee is required to have a primary tax location defined when submitting a TAXS transaction. The enrolled state tax deductions are used to determine which State IDs an employee can enter when submitting hours on the Timesheet (TIMEI), Timesheet Adjustment (TADJ), One-Time Payment (OTPAY), and Overload Payment Generator (OPAY) transactions.

The State Tax Enrollment transaction can be created in the following ways when MULTI_STATE_TAX is set to Y in APPCTRL:

  • Select the Create action on the Transaction Catalog.

  • Select the Create State Tax Enrollment row-level action on the Employee State Tax Parameter Information tab of the Deduction Management (DEDM) activity folder.

  • Select the Modify State Tax Enrollment row-level action on the Employee State Tax Parameter tab of the Deduction Management (DEDM) activity folder.

  • Select the Create Federal Tax button on the Pay Landing > Manage Tax Information carousel tile > State Tax Information scalar.
