Set up state modifications adjustments

The initial screen (main area) allows you to indicate applicable tax law percentages for each modification or adjustment by jurisdiction. As a result, when you enter data in the Common State data entry area, the system uses these percentages to calculate each item.
You can:
  • Use the
    Copy
    and
    Paste
    commands to copy data from an Excel spreadsheet and paste the information on the screen.
  • Use the
    Manage Modifications
    command to create additional state modification and adjustment detail items as needed and to map Income Tax or Tax Provision items to system or user-created descriptions in the system. You must assign these user-created items a tax law percentage.
note
State modification and adjustment amounts that come from Income Tax or Tax Provision won't apply tax law percentages because these amounts were already calculated from each product.
