Important! Every employer must obtain an MI-W4 withholding Exemption Certificate from each employee.
Note: For records on 5-2-2 Payroll Records that have the Payroll Type of 2—Bonus, Sage 100 Contractor calculates state income tax using the published flat-rate.
There is no distinction for marital status for employees who work in Michigan. More information is available on the form MI-W4 Employee Withholding Exemption Certificate.
Sage 100 Contractor still requires a marital status on the state tax calculation. Use the status that applies to each employee below. The status has no affect on the amount of state withholding.
