US Payroll Tax Update Rounds

Having a tough time correlating the Last Tax Update date with the actual Payroll Tax Round number released by Microsoft?

Setup > System > Payroll > Payroll Tax
Sweat it no more! The following is a list of payroll tax round numbers with their corresponding dates:

Round 7 – Last Tax Update 7/3/2009
Round 6 – Last Tax Update 6/22/2009
Round 5 – Last Tax Update 4/27/2009
Round 4 – Last Tax Update 3/23/2009
Round 3 – Last Tax update 2/26/2009
Round 2 – Last Tax Update 1/21/2009
Round 1 – Last Tax Update 12/19/2008

Remember, you can always use the automated tax update feature in Microsoft Dynamics GP to get the latest tax updates.

1) Go to MSDGP > Maintenance > US Payroll Updates > Check for Tax Updates, and choose the Automatic update mode from the wizard.

2) Enter your company Authorization Number (usually your main phone number) to continue.

Click on the Log in button to continue. Dynamics GP will then download the latest tax update and apply the latest fixes required to fix bugs found in processing of payroll taxes.

Until next post!

Round 1 – 2009 Payroll Tax Updates now available

Microsoft has made Round 1 of the 2009 Payroll Tax Updates now available. Round 1 updates a number of state and federal tax tables, per the document:

- California
- Maine
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- New Mexico
- Oklahoma
- Fica/Social Security Wage Limit
- Personal Exemption amounts
- Earned Income Credit

In past days, I reported the EIC value being incorrect for 2009 and apparently it has been taken care of in Round 1.

Tax updates can be applied/re-applied by following these simple instructions:

Dynamics GP 10
Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Maintenance > U.S. Payroll Updates > Check for Tax Updates

Dynamics GP 9.0
Go to Help > U.S. Payroll Updates > Check for Tax Updates

Until next post!

Incorrect EIC value in 2009 United States Payroll Tax Update

If you have applied 2009 Payroll Tax Update to your Microsoft Dynamics GP system, you will need to correct the Earned Income Credit amount in the UPR41300 tax table from its old value of $1,750 for 2008, to $1,826 for 2009. However, the amounts seem to be correct for the married and single filing statuses in the UPR41302 tax table.

To fix this issue, run the following script against your DYNAMICS database:

-- Run againt your Dynamics databaseUSE DYNAMICSGOUPDATE UPR41300 SET MXEICPMT = 1826.00 WHERE TAXCODE = 'EIC'

2009 Payroll Tax Update for Microsoft Dynamics GP 8.0

Dynamics GP consultants outta be some of the most dedicated professionals on the face of the planet. In the past days, many GP 8.0 users have been wondering how to get 2009 tax updates applied to their systems. What was more discouraging is the fact that Microsoft had released a not-too-promising memo about the availability of the 2008 year end and 2009 tax updates.

Nonetheless, my friend Doug Pitcher over at Rose Business Solutions, now has an answer for everyone of you still on GP 8.0. He had been playing around with the 2009 tax update SQL Scripts for 10 and noticed they could work on GP 8.0, so just stop by and download the scripts from his site. Great job Doug!
