Creating a Roth deduction code


What is the best way to set up a Roth 401k deduction code? We currently have pre-tax deduction codes and will offer Roth beginning in 2024.

Right now I have the Roth deduction code set up as not affecting tax calculations, however I noticed that, if the Affects Tax Calculation box is checked, there is a Roth 401k Code Type on the US Tax Settings tab. Should I mark the Roth deduction as affecting tax calculation and select this Code Type?

Thank you.

Hi @jessicaASA 

You should select the Code Type for ROTH401k as the tax engine will know how to calculate it, and the reporting will be correct.

@jessicaASA - Also remeber to select the correct reporting type on the deduction Tab and if they are older the allow catch-up on the Employee Payroll settings - Tax Settings tab.
