Set up Tax Law Control Panel

In the Tax Law setup area, you can review and change tax law settings that the system uses for estimated payment calculations. The Tax Law Control Panel has default tax law settings according to the most up-to-date tax laws for each jurisdiction.
The Tax Law Control Panel also allows you to create an unlimited number of custom tax laws for a jurisdiction. You can delete the custom tax law(s) at any time if they aren't assigned to a filing group. However, you can't delete a system default tax law. If you change or override the default tax law setting for a jurisdiction, you'll see a red glyph next to that item. You can reset the setting to the default at any time.
note
When creating a custom tax law, the system selects a default filing method for each jurisdiction. You can change this, however, be aware that some filing methods may not be applicable.
