Employer Subject to Social Security Accrual via Recompute Taxable Wages

This checkbox is used in conjunction with the Social Security checkbox to comply with the presidential memorandum signed 8/8/2020 which mandates a deferral of the employee portion of Social Security tax for compensation paid to employees whose biweekly pretax compensation generally is less than $4,000.

If an employee is subject to deferral of their Social Security withholding under the memorandum, but the employer is still responsible for their portion of the Social Security tax, this screen should be set up as follows:

  1. Clear the Social Security checkbox in the Subject To group box. This suspends the computation of both the employee Social Security withholding tax and the employer Social Security tax liability on the Compute Payroll screen.
  2. Select the Employer Subject to Accrual via Recompute Taxable Wages checkbox. This indicates that the employer is still liable for their portion of the Social Security taxes while the employee's Social Security Withholding is in a deferred status from 09/01/2020 through 12/31/2020. If an employee's Employer Subject to Accrual via Recompute Taxable Wages checkbox is selected on Manage Employee Taxes screen and the check date falls within the 9/1/2020 to 12/31/2020 deferral period, Recompute Taxable Wages application will perform the following:
    • Calculate and populate the Manage Employee Earning History record with the employer's Social Security taxable wages.
    • Calculate and populate the Manage Employee Earning History record with the employer's Social Security tax accrual amount.
    • Calculate and populate the Manage Employee Earnings History record with the employee's Social Security taxable wages.

This checkbox will only be visible if the Social Security checkbox in the Subject to group box is not selected.

Note: This checkbox will have no effect on calculations done on the Compute Payroll application. Since the employee's Subject to Social Security checkbox is not selected, Compute Payroll will calculate an Employee Social Security Withholding and Employer Social Security Accrual of 0.00. If the Employer Subject to Accrual via Recompute Taxable Wages checkbox is selected, the employer Social Security accrual will be calculated after posting payroll when Recompute Taxable Wages is run.

Actual number of adopted children

Beginning October 1, 2022, most employees in the State of Indiana are entitled to deduct $3,000 per year per qualifying adopted child claimed on line 7 of Form WH-4.

Currently, there is no field in Costpoint that can store and track the adopted child exemptions throughout Costpoint payroll. In order to be able to deduct this exemption when calculating state and local withholding amount, the number of adopted child dependent exemptions claimed on line 7 of Form WH-4 must be multiplied by two and the result must be added to the value in Dependents field.

In order to track the actual number of adopted child dependent exemptions claimed on line 7 of Form WH-4, this information-only field has been added so that Costpoint will be able to use this information during database conversion of the new fields for adopted child dependent exemptions that will be added later throughout payroll processing.

This field will only be enabled if the withholding state is IN (Indiana).
