Louisiana State Withholding Question

[CCSTB]

Suddenly in the last quarter of the year the amount of Louisiana Income Tax withheld is showing up as a negative number for some of our part-time staff. I have updated my program regularly, so I am not sure what the issue is? I have put a sample (without any confidential information) at www.ccstb.org/statetax.pdf to illustrate the problem. The columns show employee id #, gross federal wages, gross state wages, Federal income tax withheld, and state income tax withheld. Does it just mean that their wages were too low for them to owe any state income tax, but some has been withheld from them anyway (as I know it was earlier in the year)?

As expected, these negative state income tax withheld numbers are feeding through to my W-2 forms so I know our employees will be asking a lot of questions about what the negative withholding means and how they should report that negative number on their state income tax forms. Thank you for any help and assistance!

We will need to see what you've got there to cause the negative tax. Follow the instructions in the link below to send us a backup of your database and in the email, give me details on which employees this is happening with so we can check the settings and such.

Thanks we found the problem and will have a new build posted for download by tomorrow so it cannot happen again. I emailed you instructions on how to fix what you have for now.
