Status Codes

Use the Status Codes function to set up and maintain statuses for tax purposes. Statuses can differ from locality to locality, therefore OSAS does not supply information about local tax regulations with regards to status. Research the appropriate local tax regulations where your employees file taxes for more information.

Status codes set up using this function will be available in the employee information setup on the tax tab to select the status for filing and withholding taxes for each employee. Each status code set up here must have a corresponding withholding tax table set up in the formula tables function.

OSAS supplies the valid statuses for all federal and state withholding taxes in the annual year end tax update.
