When choosing this option, all annuity amounts for the employee are applied to the wages being taxed at the supplemental withholding rate. No annuity amounts are applied to the regular wages.

Using the Supplemental Tax Option field on Compensation screen to automatically select a taxing option for supplemental payments
CORE/COMPENSATION includes a field called Supplemental Tax Option. This is used to identify supplemental jobs and the associated taxing option to use with the job. Values for the field are "Apply Annuities to Supplemental, Apply Annuities to Regular, and None".
If "Apply Annuities to Regular" option is used, all amounts paid on this job will be taxed at the inflated supplemental rate using taxing (annuities applied to regular wages) during payroll calculation. If "Apply Annuities to Supplemental" option is used, all amounts paid on this job will be taxed at the inflated supplemental rate (annuities applied to supplemental wages) during the payroll calculation. The current supplemental tax rate is 22.0% for federal taxes and 3.5% for Ohio taxes. The Compensation 'Supplemental Tax Option' should be set prior to Initializing the payroll or a delete and re-add will be required through Payroll Payments Current or Future to activate the field.
Note: If a 'Supplemental Tax Option' Type is selected for a supplemental job and this payment is the only job being processed, any additional withholding amounts specified in the federal and/or state tax deduction records will NOT be withheld.
INITIALIZING the payroll will check active compensations with the Supplemental Tax Options and add these compensations to the current payroll using the associated supplemental taxing option.
If a job is added in PAYROLL/PAYROLL PAYMENTS - Current or Future and that job has a "Apply Annuities to Supplemental" or "Apply Annuities to Regular" wages, the taxing option will be set automatically. The taxing option will appear in PAYROLL PAYMENTS/CURRENT OR FUTURE and can be modified on these supplemental jobs if necessary.
If payments made on a compensation always require taxation at the 22.0% rate, you could set the Supplemental Tax Option to "Apply Annuities to Supplemental" or "Apply Annuities to Regular" and taxation on all payments made to that compensation would always be at the higher rate. This might be useful for coaching or other supplemental compensation. This may eliminate the need to miscellaneous pay some Compensations in PAYROLL PAYMENTS to activate the higher tax rate.

- **NOTE** System/Configuration/Payroll Account Default Setup Configuration has been added to the Configuration menu. It allows district to set the flags for the Employer Distribution and Leave Projection default values. These default values will be set whenever a payroll account is created. The payroll account Employer Distribution and Leave Projection default values can be changed/overridden in Payroll Accounts for an employee, but it will default based on the Configuration values set.

Should this account be used to charge out leave entered in USPSCN/ATDSCN and the job calendars to the corresponding leave account. If leave should be charged to this account check the corresponding box next to Leave Projection. If Leave Projection is not to be used to charge this account, uncheck the corresponding box next to Leave Projection.
**The regular payroll process does not automatically charge the appropriate leave accounts. To distribute the leave amounts to the correct USAS benefit accounts, the program Leave Projection must be run. If Leave Projection is not run, all leave is charged to the regular pay account. The Leave Projection program will create a posting file which will be posted by the USAS Integration/Leave Projection Submission program. Contained in this posting file will be a positive reduction of expenditure to the regular payroll account (giving the money back) and a negative reduction of expenditure to the appropriate leave account.
Is this an Employer Distribution Account. If benefits are to be charged to this account, check the corresponding box . If benefits are not to be charged to this account, uncheck the corresponding box next to the Employer Distribution Account field.
**If an employee's account, used during payroll, was marked as 'No" for Employer Distribution and the Employer Distribution Report option "Use Only Employer Distribution Accounts' was marked as 'Yes', it will then look at the employees Active payroll accounts for an account that is marked as "Employer Distribution" and use this account.
681.18 Total tax for employee
Applying the annuity to the regular wages (Example 1) results in a total tax of $809.98
Applying the annuity to the supplemental wages (Example 2) results in a total tax of $681.18
Both methods are compliant with IRS regulations regarding application of the annuity to the employee.

If "Apply Annuities to Supplemental" option is used, all amounts paid on this job will be taxed at the inflated supplemental rate (annuities applied to supplemental wages) during the payroll calculation. The current supplemental tax rate is 22.0% for federal taxes and 3.5% for Ohio taxes.

If a job is added in PAYROLL/PAYROLL PAYMENTS - Current or Future and that job has a "Apply Annuities to Supplemental" or "Apply Annuities to Regular" wages, the taxing option will be set automatically. The taxing option will appear in PAYROLL PAYMENTS/CURRENT OR FUTURE and can be modified on these supplemental jobs if necessary.
If payments made on a compensation always require taxation at the 22.0% rate, you could set the Supplemental Tax Option to "Apply Annuities to Supplemental" or "Apply Annuities to Regular" and taxation on all payments made to that compensation would always be at the higher rate.

**If an employee's account, used during payroll, was marked as 'No" for Employer Distribution and the Employer Distribution Report option "Use Only Employer Distribution Accounts' was marked as 'Yes', it will then look at the employee's Active payroll accounts for an account that is marked as "Employer Distribution" and use this account.
**If an employee's account, used during payroll, was marked as 'Yes' for Employer distribution and they run the report both ways, 'Yes' or 'No' to "Use Only Employer Distribution Accounts", this employee will be charged the same accounts on both reports.
Example:
- If district needs only Medicare to be charged to this board paid account but no other board paid amounts:
- 012 1490 111 0000 176000 012 00 000
The object code for Medicare and other board paid benefits would be different. This is defined on the Core>Payroll Item Configuration>Object Codes area:
- The district could check the 'Employer Distribution' checkbox on the payroll account.
- 012-1490-111-0000-176000-012-00-000
- 012-1490-111-0000-176000-012-00-000
Medicare would be charged to this account by default
012-1490-213-0000-176000-012-00-000
Then they would use Account Mapping to map the other board benefits (Life and Medical for example) from these accounts below, back to the general fund account. They will need to enter more than one line of mapping to cover all of the other board paid benefits:
