The start date should be 01.01.1800, once you decide to upgrade the system to TaxFactory 11.0, as the system should use the version 11.0 for all the tax calculation, even in retroactive scenarios, where TaxFactory 10.0 were used.

8) I don´t see the WF parameter in BSI script, why?
The parameter WF: 0,0 is not being sent in all scenarios in the BSI script, as BSI considers it as WF: 0,0 if there isn´t this parameter in the BSI script. Parameter WF: 1,1 or 1,2 is always being sent in case the employee has an IT0210 record that follows the new W-4 Form Model for year 2020.

9) Parameter WF is not in the correct line in BSI interface in TaxFactory 11.0?
There is a change in TaxFactory 11.0 cyclic B the parameter WF should be placed in other line in BSI script. This change has been delivered in the W-4 notes for States, after you apply the notes this parameter will be send in the line BSI expects to do the calculation for FED taxes.
The change in the parameter has been delivered in SAP notes:
2895426 – Prerequisite objects for SAP Note 2878657
2878657 – 2020 State Withholding Tax Calculation – Based on the State (or State-equivalent) Withholding Certificate (SAP_HR) – Phase I
For further information, please check the KBA:
2985123 – The Parameter WF on the BSI Interface
10) After the Support Package the system is calculating higher taxes when employee has IT0161, why?
After SAP notes 2888094 TAX: Lock-in letters override for W-4 exempt and 2880846 TAX: Lock-in letters not overriding New W-4 is now considering the values of IT0161 and now the system is calculating more tax, which is expected.
Refer to KBA for further details 2984188– Tax calculation for an employee with both IT0161 and IT0210.

Hello
when do we expect BSI to release changes regarding tax tables for 2023?
Thanks
Sukhbir
Hello Sukhbir,
BSI will release it on a Regulatory Bulletin.
You can reach BSI for detailed information.
Kind regards,
Graziela
Graziela, as the annual Federal tax table release date and TUB number is important to ALL customers can this be researched by SAP (i.e. contact BSI on behalf of the customer base) and then published on the Year end page (as this was not the correct Blog for this question anyway).
Thanks, Jeff
Does anyone have an update on the BSI release of the Federal tax tables? Just wondering if someone heard anything from BSI, thanks, Jeff
What should the FED exemem date be on T5UTZ? I thought this date was always 2/15. Now it's 2/17.
It is February 15 per IRS. And, in our system T5UTZ has 2/15 as the date.
Just got TUB 101 from BSI with changes to the state of Maryland. In reviewing information directly from the state, I see that local tax rates for the following counties (Allegany, Anne Arundel, Cecil, Frederick, St. Mary’s and Washington) have also changed. These don't appear to be part of TUB 101. Any news from BSI on when these updates will take place?
Hello,
Someone got IRS limits changed, but the tax amount is not changed. Is there any way I can confirm that tax calculation is correctly done?
And I've found T5UTKZ is empty. Should there be any records in it?
Thank you,
Euna
T5UTKZ is delivered empty until you run a sync from TaxFactory to ERP after implementing all of the various Notes associated with the new filing status sync feature.
Hi Matt,
That what was what I thought, but I think I ran the sync at least twice since SP was installed. I will pay close attention next time.
Thank you,
Euna
I have also noticed that the new view, V_T5UTKZ, appears to return no records unless you provide a value for BOTH of the selection parameters (tax type and authority). If you leave either field wide open/blank, you'll get "no records returned."
It turns out we're not the right version for T5UTKZ.
Thank you, Matt.

Hello All -
Looking for anyone to share their experience setting-up the PFML wage types for Colorado.
We followed the manual instructions to setup the tax types / wage types.
Couple questions:
(1) We see two ER/EE sets for Colorado State and Local. Is this what everyone is expecting or should we setup one or the other?
(2) My Payroll Team said there is an option for employers to pay both the EE and ER PFML tax. Has anyone else heard of this .... and how the heck would you setup the tax model config to accommodate?
Thanks,
Brandyn
Our applicable tax types are 117 and 118 (/4B7 and /4B8) which is what we mapped in the tax model; rest other tax types are not applicable to us. If tax types 121/122 (local /4C1 and /4C2) are not applicable, you shouldn't map them in the tax model.
Regarding the optional ER paying both EE and ER, not aware of that. I remember MA PFML had an option like that and SAP delivered tax types for them. The issue is the tax rates are delivered in T5UTX for tax types, so if you are going the route of ER paying both, you will need the combined rates for the TT in T5UTX. Since I dont see a tax type/rate delivered for the combined, you can think of something like having just one ER tax type (118) and override the tax rate in BTXRATE with the combined rate. In this case you would only map tax type 118 in the tax model. You may want to try this and see if it works.
Thanks
Chandra
Hi Chandra,
I already set up the PFML wage type for Colorado but it is not working on my CO employee. There are no deduction for /4B7 and /4B8. I already checked that this correctly entered in T5UTI and T5UTX. Is there any other table that i need to check?
Thank you in advance
Red
Check the tax model set up - T5UTE, T5UTM and T5UTY. T5UTY should have the PFML tax types (117 and 118) for the CO model.
Thanks
Chandra
Yes, there is an option for combined EE and ER PFML. This option can be used by passing formula number 2 to BSI TaxFactory for tax type 118 and/or 122 (only for Colorado) and taxes will be calculated using the applicable percentage. More details on formula number can be found in Regulatory Bulletin #96 released by BSI.
@Chandra and @Mitesh: Thanks for the responses.
Im getting closer ... Ive setup CO Tax Type 118 with formula 2 in table V_BTXRATE and setup the optional rate override directly in BSI, but continue to see FN: 1 in the BSI interface.
ADC TC: CO NR: 0 RP: 0 RC: 0 SE: 0 NX: 0 WF: 1,1
HUD TT: 118 FN: 1 PW: 2403.85 HW: 240.40 MS: 3 NE: 0
ADD TE: 0 RN: 0 PW: 1.00 RF: 0
VDC AT: 0
SDC SM: 9 BW: 4807.70
EDC DE: 0 NA: 0
LUD ES: 0 SA: 0 PND: 0 MND: 0 QND: 0 YND: 0
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help.

Hello Brandyn,
Please, refer to the KBA:
3196605 How to customize the value of the Formula Number send on the BSI Interface
BTXRATE will not override the formula number.
Kind regards,
Graziela
Thanks Graziela!
Worked beautifully.

Hi @Graziela Dondoni,
Sorry if it is too early to ask. Please let me know if there is any update on the delivery of solution for 401(k) Plan changes related to Secure Act 2.0.
Thank you,
Sanjay
Hi Sanjay,
SAP is aware about that and it's currently being evaluated by the Developers and Product Management.
For any update on that, I would suggest you to keep an eye on the Announcement of Legal Changes: 2917160 (New legal change is under evaluation).
Best Regards,
Carlos
Hi Carlos,
Thank you for the update.
Best regards,
Sanjay
Graziela,
When do we expect BSI to re-implement the taxation for the Washington Cares Act?
Thanks, Greg
Greg,
According to https://wacaresfund.wa.gov/employers/, the 18-month delay for WA CARES Act is still in effect, and employers are supposed to start collecting premiums from employees on 1 July 2023. So, I would expect (and hope) that BSI would release a regulatory update to re-enable WA CARES sometime ahead of that date, unless the Washington governor or legislature make another change in the meantime.
Cheers,
Matt
Matt,
Understood, we were configuring for a 7/1/2023 start but BSI pulled the entries for T5UTD and calculations when they recinded it. Trying to get ahead of the curve but unable to test until BSI reapplies their changes. Can never count on politics 🙂
Thanks, Greg
Greg,
Agreed! My own organization is also trying to get ahead of it, and over the next couple months I expect to need to fight back against insistence upon a custom solution, when we have every expectation a standard solution will be forthcoming. But, if we get too close to that deadline without a BSI update, then I may lose that fight (and I'm sure in that case we won't be the only customer seeking a custom override of some kind).
The problem is that it would not surprise me at all if the legislature makes further changes to the law between now and then, which will necessitate BSI and perhaps SAP needing to make further changes to the solution. I haven't heard of such things in the pipeline; it's just my pessimistic nature to expect it. 😉
Cheers,
Matt
Good Morning, we are on EhP8 608B1 and are getting a short dump with RPCALCU0_CE for an employee that references: "OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED" and the trigger location references: RPC_PAYUS_CALL_BSI_FORM. The Error Analysis states: "you are trying to access a component with a 'ZERO' object reference".
Searching in OneSupport we have found references to a few old notes; including 2330339 that describes the exact message but this note is from 2016. We also see Note 3088446 - Updates to TF11.0 Reverse Engine Processing. We implemented this Note in AUG 2022 and have BSIRS turned ON effective 01/01/1900.
While troubleshoot on the employee we have also found that running retro back to 03/01/2022 on the employee performs without issue. However, there was an Off-Cycle created with a PayDate of 02/28/2022 (this is not the start of a payroll period) and when we retro back to 02/28/2022, then the short dump occurs.
Has anyone else seen this short dump by chance?
Thank you,
Stacey
