(KISS Dos Users - See notice below)
If you have not done so since the above date, you should Download/Update
your Greux programs. Then for every company that has a Payroll, get
to the P/R Configuration/Tax tables window (shown below). Select US and click on the
"Update selected tax table" button. If you need tables for your State, then
select your state and click "Update...". If your state is not there, contact
KISS Development. This is all you need to do to get the
latest tables.
These Tax Table Masters are always available with the Payroll module.
The following is furnished for reference only for GREUX users. You may use the
Tax Tables listed below to verify that you have updated your tables.
Reference: Pre-Circular E as of January 2008
The following are the new withholding tables effective
January 2008.
If you
have run one or more payrolls using the old tables, that's OK.
The changes from 2007 are that the W/H allowance per exemption has
increased from 3400 to 3500 and the
Social Security wage limit has changed from 97,500 tp 102,000. Also
there was a change of the wage brackets, resulting in lower taxes for a very
few people who are at the extreme lower limits of each old bracket.
If the tax rates for your state have changed, let us know. We do not
monitor all state withholdings rates. That is your responsibility as an
employer. However if yours did change and we don't have the new rate,
we will ask you to send us a copy of the state's
computer formula (annualized). We will update the calculations and include in the master tables used above.
For Greux users this service is free.
