Vermont State Tax Routine (VTTX)

The Iowa State Tax Special Routine Processing utilizes the following steps:

Line 1

 

Multiply the employee’s gross wages for the current payroll period by the number of payroll periods in a year to obtain their Annualized Gross Income (GI).

Line 2

Determine the Withholding Allowance Amount for the employee*.

Line 3

Determine the Taxable Amount by subtracting Line 2 from Line 1.

Line 4

Using the Marginal Tax Rates (DEDX) entries for the Vermont State Tax deduction, compute tax on the Taxable Amount (Line 3).

Line 5

Divide the amount on Line 4 by the number of payroll periods in a year to determine the employee’s Vermont Withholding Tax for the pay period.

*Determine the Withholding Allowance Amount (Line 2)

  1. Take the Annual Exemption Amount on the Tax Parameters (TAXP) entry for the employee’s Vermont State Tax deduction and Marital Status * the number of State Tax Allowances on the employee’s Employee Tax Parameter (TAX) or Employee State Tax parameter (TAXS).

Note: The Vermont State Tax Routine is only available for sites that utilize the Next Generation Payroll service.
