Payroll is using the same GL Account Codes and Sub-Account Codes for multiple state deductions

When opening Human Resources, the following message could appear:

If it does, proceed to Human Resources > File > Percentage Tax Rates.  Review the G/L Accounts codes used for your states.  In the example below, eight states are listed with the same account code/sub account code:

This can be corrected by creating new account codes and associating a unique identifier for each state.

  1. Double click one of the states
  2. Click the F8 button
  3. Click the + icon to add a new account code
  4. Enter the account code and account name
  5. Click OK

  6. Select the new code by clicking the finger icon
  7. Click OK

  8. Repeat for other states, as needed.

NOTES:

  1. The account codes used above are merely an example.  Please contact accountant for account code recommendations
  2. An alternative to creating an entirely new account code would be to use Sub-Account Codes for your states (see below):
