Important Fields:

Taxable Earnings: Exempt Earnings:
Enter the dollar amount of Taxable and Exempt Earnings for the Tax Table you selected on this line. Note that the Taxable plus Exempt Earnings should total the Total Earnings Entered on the main screen. EX: Total FICA earnings are 1000.00 but Federal Earnings might only be 950.00 (Taxable Earnings) if there was a 401K deduction of 50.00 (Exempt Earnings).

Tax Withheld:
The total tax withheld from the employee for this authority. Note that the total of all line items entered on this screen must equal the Total Tax field that is manually entered on the parent screen.
