You can use Drake Accounting to set up SUTA (State Unemployment Tax Act) rates for single- and multi-location clients.
Note Before setting up SUTA for employees, state ID information must be entered in Client Setup (Client > Add or Edit > State tab).
To set up SUTA rates for an employee:
-
From the side menu, go to Employees > Employee Setup, and select an Employee from the list.
-
Click the State Tax tab.
-
While working in information is pulled from the location's address ((Client > Add or Edit > Contact Information tab). If the client has multiple locations and the employee works at more than one location (Works at multiple locations is selected at Employees > Employee Setup > Personal Information tab), select the applicable place of work in the Locations section, located in the upper-right corner of the Employee Setup screen. Locations must be established at Client > Locations in order for them to be added at Employees > Employee Setup.
-
-
Select the employee’s State Tax Table for tax withholding purposes.
-
Select the applicable SUTA state.
