How to setup a post-tax deduction
Description of Issue
How do I setup a deduction code to be post-tax?
Context
- Munis
- Deduction and Benefit Master
- Payroll Exceptions
Cause
Resolution
Post-tax means the contribution amount is NOT subtracted from taxable gross, so you're simply setting up a new deduction code that is NOT listed in Payroll Exceptions for the applicable tax deduction codes.
Accurate setup can be confirmed using the following steps:
- Go to Deduction and Benefit Master. (Payroll>Payroll Setup>Deduction and Benefit Master)
- Click Exceptions in the menu. Search for applicable tax deduction and a processing code of 2-No Deductions are Excepted Except. Click Accept.
- Verify the deduction being created is not listed in the Exclusion Ranges.
Additional Information
Pre-tax means the contribution amount is subtracted from your taxable gross before you pay taxes on it. Pre-tax deductions are listed in Payroll Exceptions with Processing Code 2 for all tax Deduction codes they should be subtracted from gross for.
