Local Master

This menu option is used to add, update or delete code records in the Local Master file.

A “Local” is any taxing authority, below the State level, for which payroll taxes must be withheld. Examples would be Cities, Counties, and Transit Districts. The Locals set up here will be assigned to payroll recipients (employees) through the Employer Master, and multiple Locals may be assigned to each employee.
