Additional Information After defining Connecticut State Tax Tables, you should access each Employee Record to specify the correct filing status and modify the Apply Connecticut Exemptions/Credits checkbox. To access this field: 1. From the Main Menu, choose Payroll, Maintenance, Employees. 2. Switch to Modify Mode. 3. Enter an Employee Number in the Employee field and press <Enter>. 4. Click the Deductions tab. 5. Enter the appropriate filing status in the Status field. 6. Click the Additional tab. 7. Complete the Apply Connecticut Exemptions/Credits field. 8. Click [OK] to save the changes. The Status field should be completed as follows: CT Filing Status A or D should use a status of S. CT Filing Status B should use a status of HH. CT Filing Status of C should use a status of MJ. CT Filing Status of F should use a status of MS. For most employees, the Apply Connecticut Exemptions/Credits checkbox should be enabled. However, for those employees who choose Filing Status D on the Connecticut Form CT-W4 (Filing Status Worksheet), the checkbox should be disabled. For employees with a Status of S and the Apply Connecticut Exemptions/Credits checkbox disabled, the exemptions and credits entered in the Additional 2 sub-tab of the Connecticut State Tax Tables will not be used, creating a greater tax withholding. This is necessary for employees who may fall into one of the following situations: The employee files Married Joint on the Federal return with a combined income over $100,500. The employee has significant non-wage income and wishes to avoid having too little tax withheld. The employee is defined as a Connecticut non-resident and has substantial other income.
