Documentation

Definition

Here you define the time period over which tax data is calculated.

Supplementary Documentation - TIMUN 0001

Use

Definition of the total reporting time

Procedure

In this field you define over which period the data should be reported on the tax form.

Examples

The federal tax form 941 is a quarterly report. All data occuring within a specific quarter have to be on this report. So this field has to hold on 'Q'.

Dependencies

The tax form groups which are used on a form should not be evaluated over a larger time unit than the reporting period. If you assign such a tax form group to a form the result on the form may be incorrect.

Supplementary Documentation - TIMUN 0002

Use

Definition of the cumulation period for a tax form group.

Procedure

The longer the period you define, the fewer entries you will have in the interface tables (and thus the less database space you will use). However, this also decreases the flexibility with which you can use this tax form group.

This set up is used for payroll results coming from regular payroll runs. The handling of retroactive payroll runs is defined separately.

Examples

Tax form group 0002 is used for the Federal Tax Form 941, which is a quarterly report. To save database space, you can cumulate amounts for this tax form group on a quarterly basis. In this case, you would select a 'Q' in this field.

If this tax form group should also be used on a monthly tax form, you would select an 'M', since the smallest period of use triggers the cumulation period.

This tax form group can also be used on annual tax forms, since the program can add up the individual periods to obtain the annual amount.

Supplementary Documentation - TIMUN 0003

Use

Period to be crossed by a retroactive run to issue correction form

Procedure

In this field you define which period border has to be crossed by a retroactive payroll run and it's results to have a need of a correction form.

The longer the period is the less correction forms will be issued. All changes produced via a retroactive payroll run will be reported on a normal tax form.

Examples

The federal tax form 941C should be issued if a retroactive payroll run changes data which are reported on the 941 of the previous quarter. So this field has to hold a 'Q'.

If you want to issue a 941C only in those cases where the data wouldn't match the issued W2, which is an annual form, it would be enough to issue a 941C when retroactive payroll runs change data of the previous year. So this field has to hold a 'Y'.
