The new year is right around the corner (as in, one day away) and that means changes are in the works for federal and state payroll rates. So, to free you up for celebrations and a stress-free start to the year, we’ve condensed the changes down to a “what you need to know” list!
Federal
Nonresident Alien additional withholding has been increased across the board
Social Security wage limit has increased from $118,500 to $127,200
Percentage Method Tables for Income Tax Withholding have received subtle breakpoint and amount changes across the board
Ohio & Florida
No significant changes to rates, calculations and maximums noted
New company-specific field for 2017 rate
All changes have been incorporated into Hibou’s Odoo US Payroll module, which you can find on GitHub.
Setup
As a reminder, remember that you will need to add accounts to the new salary rules as needed. (mainly rules that don't have the word 'Wages' in their title)
