How do I create a pay code for a specific state?

Create a pay code that only applies to a specific state. Some examples of a state-specific tax may include state-specific family medical leave, special taxes, and special local taxes. This also includes things like the Oregon Transit Tax, California SDI, and Washington Paid Family Leave. Connect will process the pay code as a tax and include the pay code total on reports that show totals for state taxes.  

In previous versions, to create a state-specific tax you had to set up a pay code to calculate a deduction. 

This feature is available in the 2023.02 release.
