If you update any payroll tax information in the current mode, be sure to update the Effective date field. When you click the Done button, Payroll CS first copies the original information to a Previous version of the tax setup dialogs and then saves the updated information in the current version of these dialogs. During payroll check entry, Payroll CS does the following:

  • If the period-end date is prior to this date, the application uses the tax values that were on file before your most recent changes were made.
  • If the period-end date is on or after this date, the application uses the tax values currently on file, including your most recent changes.
