WT /411, /311 and 711 does not show for Form 940 credit reduction

Question

I'm facing issue in form 940 credit reduction schedule A, In the payroll log I do not see /411, /311 and /711 wages types.  Tax type 10 and 11 are there in tax model and also in BSI tax authority is there in Optional Rates Override.  Please advise what I'm missing.
Thanks,
Anita

Hi Anita,
As a base rule, state tax type 11 is to compensate FED tax type 10, hence wherever you see tax type 10 assigned in FED tax combos against all tax classes, tax type 11 needs to be made available under same tax classes but for state.
Anyways, what you need to do is that -
1. Go to table T5UTD and see what all states have tax type 11 active for it and note it down.
2. Once done, you will need to look at FED tax model in table T5UTM and what all tax combos under tax area "U" have tax type 10 for tax class (which corresponds to your processing class 71 specifications). Note the tax classes that have tax type 10 under FED tax model.
3. Finally got each state that you have found as tax type 11 is active under step 1 from table T5UTD and for respective tax classes that you found from step 2 under FED model, look for same tax classes in each of state applicable and add tax type 11 under table T5UTY for tax combos found in table T5UTM against those tax classes for state tax model. Please make sure that if tax combos are shared across or used by different other tax models than create a new model replicating existing one and add tax type 11 to it, then assign same to tax model agaisnt taht tax class and tax area "U".
Example:-
You have found out that MI (Michigan) has tax type 11 active under T5UTD table but it does not come in your payroll log.
Suppose FED has tax model 100 assigned under table T5UTE.
Now this 100 tax model in table T5UTM has tax class 2 which has tax combo assigned as 40 against tax area "U".
Tax combo 40 in table T5UTY has tax type 10 only.
Go to Michigan tax model in table T5UTE, suppose it was 120.
Go to table T5UTM and look for tax model 120 and tax class 2. Suppose tax combo assigned is 43 against tax area "U".
Tax combo 43 in table T5UTY has tax type 10 only but since FED has tax type 10 assigned to tax class 2 therefore MI combo should also have tax type 11 in tax combo 43.
This change to tax combo 43 applies if tax combo 43 is only avaiable under tax model 120.
If tax combo was also used for other tax model then you will need to copy create 43 to other new tax combo number not used till date and copy all tax types under it.
Note:-
Here I have only told you about one tax class i.e. 2 and one state MI. You will need to configure same for all tax classes as applicable for MI and other states too.
Thanks,
