2022 Wisconsin State Income Tax Withholding Changes

How do we setup the new 2022 Wisconsin (WI) State tax changes?

• Munis 

• Payroll

• State Codes

• Tax Tables

• Deduction and Benefit Master

These changes will not require an update from development. 

NOTE: Do not make these changes in Production until you have processed your last 2021 payroll through the Employee Update step.

1. Go to State Codes. (Payroll>Payroll Setup>Income Tax Setup>State Codes)
   

2. Search for State Code WI. Click Update. Click the drop down for Tax Table Code and select 38-Maine SIT. Click Accept. 

3. Go to Tax Tables. (Payroll>Payroll Setup>Income Tax Setup>Tax Tables)

4. Click Add. Define Effective date 01/01/2022, State Code WI-Wisconsin, Pay Period A-Annual, Tax Marital Status S-Single, Tax Table Code 38-Maine SIT will display. 

   1. Define the Tax Table and Calc Screens as noted in the IRS/Munis documentation below in Additional Information

   2. Add another Tax Table using the same fields in step 4, except define a Marital Status of M-Married and define the Tax table and Calc screen information. 

5. Go to Deduction and Benefit Master (Payroll>Payroll Setup>Deduction and Benefit Master)

6. Search for WI State Tax Deduction. Click Update. Define 38-Maine SIT in the Tax Table Type field. Click Accept.

PLEASE NOTE – any payrolls that are run with dates prior to the effective date of the new table will have issues calculating if the Tax Table Type is not changed back to the original tax table type. This is because the Tax Table Type will now be using 38 and your prior tax tables have information using Tax Table Type 21 Wisconsin. If an “old” payroll needs to be run (one with a check date prior to the Effective Date of the new WI tax tables), then the Tax Table Type should be changed back to 21 on any relevant WI state tax deductions prior to generating the payroll so they can calculate using the “old” logic. Please contact Technical Support if you need to run a payroll with a check date prior to the Effective date of the new payroll.
