Is there any instructions on how to manually apply the new tax code for GP 2013?
*This post is locked for comments
While mainstream support for GP 2013 ended 10 April 2018, the tax tables can be manually updated.
State Unemployment Tax can be accessed through HR & Payroll\Setup\Unemployment Tax.
Local Tax can be accessed through HR & Payroll\Setup\Local Tax\Tables (lower-right button).
Federal Tax, FICA, and other taxes (e.g. County) can be accessed through Administration\Setup\System\Payroll Tax.
Pick from a list of Tax Codes and select the Filing Status button in the lower-right corner to open the Payroll Tax Filing Status window for the selected Tax Code. While Federal/FICA will list regular (Single/Married) statuses, State Tax Codes will list counties as Filing Statuses.
Selecting the Tables button for the selected Filing Status will open up the Payroll Tax Tables window for the combination of Tax Code and Payroll Tax Filing Status. This is where the tax rates and ceilings can be updated.
While a high amount of data resides int he combination of Tax Codes, Payroll Tax Filing Statuses, and Tax Tables, only the changes in tax structure will require adjustments.
Any format changes to the W-2 reports will need to be manually adjusted in Report Writer. Any new fields to the W-2 would be problematic, though, as they would need to correspond to fields that aren't in any card/transaction windows.
As Shawn mentioned, the better route would be to upgrade to a version that retains mainstream support (including Tax Updates).
GP2013 is no longer in main stream support so the tax codes are not updated for that version.
There are often programmatic and tax rate changes, so I strongly encourage you to upgrade to a version that is supported for year end. There are tons of new features and bug fixes in more current versions.
I know that may not be what you were looking for as a response to your question, but I felt like it was worth sharing. I am not aware of a way to do this 'on your own'.
