W-4 Indicator in T5UTZ

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can someone please explain what is the field 'W-4 indicator' in table T5UTZ means.

The problem we are facing is when an employee changes from say Indiana to Nebraska, the entries in the portal is still reflecting as Indiana instead of Nebraska. On bedugging we found out that the above table is queried and for Nebraska the w-4 indicator is 6 and in the code only for those state which has w-4 indicator value 1,2 and 5 only is fetched. why is that so?

Thanks.

Cheers,

Sriram

W-4 indicator

This field indicates whether W-4 (or equivalent) information (from Infotype 0210 - W-4 Withholding Info.) is permissible for the authority and whether this information may be inherited from the federal authority.

For example:

Mandatory: The W-4 information is mandatory. If no infotype record exists for the employee, the employee is taxed according to the valid federal/state defaults

Optional for state (exemption on a separate form): The filing status from the federal authority is used if no information is specified for the state; state exemptions require a separate form

Not allowed for state (exemption on a separate form): The filing status from the federal authority is used; state exemptions require a separate form

Not applicable for state: The state does not levy withholding tax

Optional for state: The filing status and number of exemptions from the federal authority are used if no information is specified for the state

Not allowed for state: The filing status and number of exemptions from the federal authority are used and Infotype 0210 is not permitted for the state

If it is a 6, it means W-4 for State is not allowed & the Federal values are used. Pl press F1 on the W4Ind field & you will know what each value stands for.
