Appendix D-Tax Setup Information > Connecticut State Tax

Connecticut State Tax

Connecticut uses specific tax tables to help compute state income tax. Connecticut incorporates the filing status in the tax tables. Marital status is still required as a standard field for income tax calculations, but has no bearing since CT uses a separate table for each filing status. The table indicator is entered in the Table# column of the Calculations tab of the 5-2-1 Employee Records window.

Refer to line 1 on the CT-W4 form for each employee, then consult the table below.

For table

Enter this

A (Married filing separately OR filing jointly, but the combined income is less than the current amount on the CT-W4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate)

1

B (Head of Household)

2

C (Married filing jointly—spouse not employed)

3

D (Married filing jointly—spouse is employed)

4

F (Single)

5

E (Exempt)

6 (or blank)

To set up payroll calculations on an employee for Connecticut State Tax:

1 Open 5-2-1 Employees.
2 Using the data control, select the employee.
3 Click the Calculations tab.
4 In the Table# cell of the Connecticut Income Tax row, enter the tax table number.

Important! If you do not enter a number from the above table, Sage 100 Contractor does not compute CT income tax as no entry signifies a filing status of Category E (for Exempt).

5 On the menu bar, click File, then click Save.
