Crosse-Over WI Tax Update

January 2022

Wisconsin has changes to their tax tables effective January 2022.  The last time WI changed their tax withholding formula was back in 2014.  The change this year is significant.  The change would require reprogramming the formula.  In retirement, that is not something that I will do.  However, I have developed new tax tables that come very close to producing the correct withholding.  While it is not perfect, these table changes should be acceptable to arrive at a withholding amount that will not cause any penalty to the taxpayer.  Consult WI pub W-166 to see what any given employee's withholding should be.  Remember that an employee can increase exemptions if they want to lower their tax withholding.  These modified tables will likely withholding slightly MORE tax than is liable, thus increasing the tax refund an employee may receive when filing their taxes at year end.

You only need to make changes in one company.  Tax Tables are shared among all companies in your system.

Be sure to double-check your state withholding when you calculate your next payroll.  An inadvertent mistake could cause the tables to not function properly.

1. Choose File Maintenance from the Payroll menu.
2. Choose Tax Tables from the File Maintenance menu.
3. Enter the table ID you wish to change (see below).
4. Press <PgDn> or OK to save each table.
5. After you save your changes, call up the table again to proof your work.
