SUI EE payroll formula?

[002700]

Does anyone know how to create a payroll formula for SUI EE (state unemployment employee)? I live in Pennsylvania and apparently, I haven't been taking the employee contribution for our state umemployment out of the checks. I know I have to go into the manual payroll tax table but I don't know what the formula should be. My employee contribution rate is .0006 and there is no limit.

I would be ever so grateful if someone could help me with this.

Thanks.

try this formula

TaxID PASUI9
TaxName PASUI 09
PERCENT=.06;
TAXABLE_GROSS=ADJUSTED_GROSS;
ANSWER=-TAXABLE_GROSS*PERCENT%

This screen shot is for 2008, rate and formula is the same, change 8 to 9 in ID and Name.

Go to Maintain - Default Information > Employees... EmployEE Fields
add Field Name SUI, select the correct G/L Account, plce a check mark on the Calc box, enter Tax Name **SUI

Important for those who use the Tax Liability Report.
For the full correct **SUI amounts to show on the Tax Liability Report the formula has to follow the above format, a PERCENT= line entry must be in the formula for correct calculations. You also need to wait till the end of the liability period to run the Tax Liability Report for the correct full amount to calculate on the report. This formula format must also be followed for FICA MEDICARE and FUTA, the formulas must include a LIMIT= line entry and a PERCENT= line entry to calculate correctly on the Tax Liability Report.

It wasn't clear from your original post, but for what it's worth, PASUI EE is a Peachtree-maintained formula if you are buying the tax service.

Thanks for the formula kh_design. I entered the formula exactly as you advised but for some reason it doesn't make the calculation. It shows up as a tax field in the "tax - benefits - liabilities" box (bottom right) when I enter payroll for one but it only calculates "0.00".

SteelerFan... I am using PeachTree 2007 Complete and bought the tax updates in 2007. I do not use their tax service.

Then you have not entered the formula in exactly correct and/or set up correctly the Default Information, Employees, EmployEE Fields. Send me e-mail or give me a call I will walk you through the set up.

kh_design... thanks so much for your help. I double checked all of the information you provided. I then went back into the "Employee Defaults". On the general tab I clicked on the right arrow next to the "EmployeeEE Paid Taxes". I selected "SUI" instead of State for Unemployment. When that still didn't work, I went back into the Employee Defaults and clicked on the "EmployEE Fields" tab. I scrolled down to "SUI", made sure (once again) I entered the information correctly. Then I clicked on the right arrow at the end of the row. I checked the "Use" column next to "Gross" because it wasn't checked. When that worked, I figured that the SUI tax didn't know what number to use to make the calculation (even though I put it in the formula in the tax table). Now I'm good to go and it is making the correct calculations.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Yes, those elusive RED CHECK MARKS. Thank you for reminding me of the Use box next to Gross.

Congratulations know you know how to maintain your own tax tables and formulas.
