Some of the local taxes, like PA1219, are being calculated when there are no taxable earnings. The software is trying to take taxes like this one out of a check where only an expense reimbursement is being paid, and if an employee is not being paid at all, the system is still generating a negative check for the flat tax amount.

If there are no taxable earnings for an employee, there cannot legally be any taxes calculated. Currently it generates a negative amount that must be investigated before it can be "ignored" during calculate payroll.

If there are no earnings being paid that are subject to a tax, the tax should not be calculated at all.
