If your company is located in the state of Indiana or if your employees work in Indiana, then be sure to follow these instructions in order to properly set up the Payroll system.

• Payroll Properties - For check stub purposes, miscellaneous deduction accumulator #6 should be set up with a description of 'County' or 'Local' through the Misc Pays/Deds Tab option. 

• Local Deductions - AccuBuild will automatically set up codes -1001 through -1092 in the local deduction table for the various county taxes. These codes are not visible on the Local Deduction Codes. The Indiana county tax codes are maintained internally by AccuBuild so if the user attempts to change any of these codes, AccuBuild will automatically reset the table values according to the current Indiana tax laws.

• Employee Information - On the State Tab of the Employee, select the Indiana state code. Using the information from the Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate (Form W-4), fill in the employee's exemption information and the County of Residence and County of Employment fields. The employee's county information is established only once every year and represents the employee's county status as of January 1. The county settings must remain intact for the entire year regardless of any change in the employee's status.

• Enter Employee Beginning Balances - To establish existing year-to-date totals for Indiana county taxes, use timecard transaction code 99 and select the proper county tax from the local deduction code list. 

• Payroll Processing - When taxes are calculated for Indiana, the county tax is calculated based on the state wages after deducting the personal and dependent exemptions. The Indiana State Withholding tax is calculated in the same manner.
