Details
Employee Tax Detail records apply taxes to an employee's
pay and apply per-employee taxes to the employer.
Employee tax details track the taxes being withheld for an
employee and report all taxes paid by or for this employee, i.e. Federal,
State, and local taxes, both employee- and employer-paid taxes.

the employee's assigned work and resident settings whenever the employee
lacks another tax for the same tax-authority level, such as local resident
or FIT. Confirm the tax assignments.

on the detailed pay entry screen and click on the "Gross
To Net" button.

on pay run verification reports.
