Release: 2025-4.38.0 Update: March 12, 2025
United States
Federal
Subject Wage on Wage Base - Effective March 12, 2025
Set Subject Wage on Wage Base will now default to true for all taxes with limits. This flag is under Tax Maintenance ~ COMPANY TAX ~ FED.
This option allows customers to ensure that subject wages returned by the engine meet the following criteria:
- Never exceed the wage base
- Always reach the wage base if there have been sufficient wages to do so
When this option is set to false, it is possible that, in rare cases, subject wages returned by the tax engine could exceed the wage base.
Alabama
City Tax – effective March 12, 2025
We have resolved a potential issue regarding Alabama city taxes. If there were no supplemental wages reported for a specific city and benefit contributions caused the regular subject wages to drop below $0, a supplemental tax and subject wage amount may have been inaccurately reported.
County Tax – effective March 12, 2025
We have resolved a potential issue regarding Alabama city taxes. If there were no supplemental wages reported for a specific city and benefit contributions caused the regular subject wages to drop below $0, a supplemental tax and subject wage amount may have been inaccurately reported.
Hawaii
SDI – effective March 12, 2025
A new field titled "Period Subject Wages" was added to account for wages from a special (off-cycle) supplemental payment that took place during the same pay period as the regular payroll calculated for that period.
Indiana
County Tax - effective March 12, 2025 (Updated March 13, 2025)
Resolved an issue where if an employee's resident county as of January 1 differs from their current home address county, the tax for the resident county as of January 1 will now be collected.
NOTE: This only works as expected if the resident county is present on the employee’s tax settings.
Workaround:
1) Add a dummy work location using the employee's former home address or the County Court Address.
2) Name the dummy work location to the county name such as "Dekalb County" so that if there’s another employee affected now or in the future you will only need one dummy work location for the county.
3) Run UPDATE TAXES under Tax Maintenace. This will ensure that the missing county appears on the tax maintenance screen.
4) Additionally, add the dummy work location to the impacted employee under employee payroll settings ~ general ~ work locations
5) Run Import under Employee Payroll Settings ~ TAXES to add the county to the employee's tax settings.
Kentucky

Maryland
Anne Arundel County – effective March 12, 2025
An issue with supplemental withholding has been corrected. When calculating flat supplemental withholding for the Maryland State Tax for employees who reside in Anne Arundel County or for non-residents employed in Anne Arundel County, the tax engine will now be aligned with Maryland's online withholding calculators. It will apply the same tax brackets for supplemental withholding as it does for regular withholding.
NOTE: Maryland is unique from other state taxes. It requires that the state and local amounts be combined and sent to the State.
Minnesota
Additional Assessment Tax – effective March 12, 2025
Using the new Subject Wage on Wage Base option will no longer affect the Minnesota Additional Assessment tax amount. This option is designed solely to alter the reported subject wages, not the tax calculation.
