Important! For each employee claiming S, M, H, or MS on the Alabama A-4 Withholding Exemption Certificate, a corresponding table number must be entered for each employee. If the table number is left blank the employee will be taxed as if they are claiming No Exemptions. Employee's claiming “0” on the Alabama A-4 Form are not allowed to claim any dependents, and Sage 100 Contractor will ignore dependents entered in the Std Allow cell.
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.
Employees should use the Alabama Form A-4 Employee's Withholding Exemption Certificate.
Enter the appropriate number in the Table# column to identify the employee's W-4 selection.
