US Payroll - PSD code selection (payroll & W2)

[sergeboulay374]

Hi All,

Does anyone know, where (if you have the program name and/or function) SAP decide on the PSD (tax authority) for PA state that will be used to display on the W2 (box 20)?

We are getting confusing information where some say it should be the Work Location PSD code others say it should be the Residence PSD code, and we also saw that the one with the higher rate between the Residence and Work Location should be used. We are trying to find the logic in SAP to confirm.

Thanks,

Serge

The main program that evaluates the payroll results for US Tax Reporter is RPCTRCU0.  I see some Pennsylvania specific routines like process_wages_pa_act_32 where the program comments also say...

* The Pennsylvania Act 32 requires that wages in W-2 be reported
* to the locality to where taxes are remitted. This routine is
* responsible for cumulating the payroll results based on the

Is it that you believe the amount should not have been taken?  Not reported? or reported in a different location on the W-2.  It could be that you need to back up a step and look at how the payroll result was calculated.

The tax form configuration is under IMG step Payroll: USA -> Tax Reporter -> Define original tax forms and/or Tax Form Groups.  The technical name of the W-2 is HR_F_W2.  Income tax (type 01) is usually reported with Tax Form Field T001.
