The following are the new withholding tables effective Febuary 2009. If you have run one or more payrolls using the old tables, that's OK. The changes from 2008 are that the W/H allowance per exemption has increased from 3500 to 3650 and the Social Security wage limit has changed from 102,000 to 106,800.
For the Stimulus Updates there was a change of the wage brackets, resulting in lower taxes for most single people below $173,000 a year, and for married people below $216,000 a year.

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.
Contact KISS Development for info on downloading the P/R tax tables. There will be a minimum $50 charge for assistance with updating these tables.
For Greux users this service is free, unless you require telephone assistance.
