Override W/H Tax Calc - set to fixed amount - enter 0
In all versions of MAS 90/200, create an earnings code that is not subject to any taxes.
It is important to be able to load a tax status to match an employee's submitted W-4.
If you have many different earnings codes, like we do, duplicate earnings codes becomes quite cumbersome; it also complicates selecting earning code report data later for financial planning, budgeting and reporting.
We set the number of exemptions to the highest allowed and noted the employee file to use a manual tax calc and zero out federal tax for this employee if any taxes are calucated during payroll processing. We're concerned about overlooking this step and accidentally witholding tax.
The suggestion to override the W/H Tax Calc in the employee's tax status screen seems to be the best work around - thanks for the suggestion
