If your company is located in the state of New Jersey or if your employees work in New Jersey, then be sure to follow these instructions in order to properly set up the Payroll system.
| 1. | Payroll Integrity Tests - If New Jersey does not appear on the State Payroll Tax Information screen, then select the Payroll > Integrity Tests > All Tests option to add New Jersey (state code 34) to the company costates.adt table. |
| 2. | Payroll Properties - New Jersey has a SDI tax for the employee and the employer. Note: AccuBuild uses the ETT fields in costates.adt table to handle the employer's portion of SDI since there is no ETT tax in New Jersey. |
| 3. | Employee Information - On the State Taxes Tab of the Employee List Screen, select the New Jersey state code. Using the information from the New Jersey Employee Tax Withholding Certificate (Form NJ-W4), fill in the employee's tax letter and dependent exemption information. Note: AccuBuild uses the Integer1 field in empstate.adt to represent the withholding status (0=A, 1=B, 2=C, 3=D, 4=E). The ST_DEPS field in empstate.adt is used to hold the number of personal exemptions. |
| 4. | Payroll Processing - When the payroll taxes are calculated for New Jersey, the withholding tax is calculated based on the tax letter and dependent exemptions as set up in the employee file. |
