Maps

Maps allows you to run a single tax lookup with a work and home address.

Map Overview

Maps allows clients to run a single tax lookup with a work and home address and visually see the geospatial boundaries that apply to each taxing scenario.

Maps is most effective when researching rates on a case-by-case basis.

Tax Data

After entering a work and home address into Maps and clicking "find taxes," Payroll Point will return both employer and employee taxes that are required for the withholding scenario as well as additional taxes that exist within either location.

Employer Taxes

• Taxes required to withhold: Returns all employer taxes that the employer is required to remit. Employer taxes do not affect employee's net pay.

🚧

For Employer State Unemployment Taxes (SUTA) in multi-state scenarios, Payroll Point will always show the work location SUTA as required and the home state SUTA as an additional tax. If an employee works across two states, please reference your company's unique SUTA rates to determine which SUTA applies for the withholding scenario.

Employee Taxes

• Taxes required to withhold: Returns all employee taxes that the employer is required to withhold.

Courtesy withholding

Any employee taxes that may be subject to courtesy withholding, are also returned within the employee additional taxes section. In Payroll Point, taxes that may be subject to courtesy withholding are Ohio city taxes or Pennsylvania EITs for employees that work outside the state of Pennsylvania.
