Learn How to Download and Install Tax Updates in the Payroll Application?

Before moving ahead, it is needed to install and download the Payroll Tax updates in each company data folder that doesn’t share a tax file. Once you are done with this installation, tax changes are influential the next time you process payroll regardless of the effective date on the tax table or the dates mentioned on the check. Generally, tax updates do not affect previously issued checks.

Updating Taxes

If you selected not to install taxes while downloading the tax update, you will need to perform these additional steps mentioned below:

• Initially, log into your network Sage 300 construction and Real Estate with full administrative rights.
  • Note: If your company uses File Locations for the PR Tax file or if taxes do not successfully update at the Sage server, immediately download the taxes from a workstation. Make sure that you must still have full administrative rights to both the network and Sage 300 construction and Real Estate for this to be successful.
• Go to the Payroll Application.
• In the Tools menu, click Download Taxes.
• Now enter your Client ID.
• You have to hit the Update tax files when the download is completed
• Tick mark the checkbox if you want to update the taxes automatically after the downloading process is finished.
  • Note: Whenever you are going to process a payroll before the effective date of the tax changes, neither select this check box nor the tax file is saved for future use. Once you are ready to update your tax files from a workstation switch to Tools, Update Taxes.
• Press the Start button.
• In the end, review the journal that prints.

Also, you can use the Modify Personal Tax Credit Amounts tool if several employees are affected. Simply, Click Tools > Modify Personal Tax Credit Amounts and follow the instructions showing up in the online help section.

Some Additional Information:

It should be noted that Payroll tax updates don’t include changes to the rates and limits for Employer State Unemployment ( SUI-E) or Employer State Disability Insurance (SDI-E) taxes as such rates often vary by company.
