I have set up a county tax with a calculation sequence to subtract exemption and then apply the tax rate. The amount per exemption is entered in the local tax setup and the exemption number is entered in the employee local tax maintenance screen to automatically calculate but it doesn't seem to calculate the tax correctly.
Example: employee claiming M-1 and amount per exemption is $83.33
salary 1000.00
exemption 1X83.33= $83.33
Taxable wages $916.67 X 1.5% should be $13.75
The calculated checks report shows the local tax withheld to be $14.90
Do you know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for your help
