Some state or local tax rules for this jurisdiction are still partial and may require user-entered rates or manual review. Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals. Some state-specific lines need additional answers before the calculator can resolve all applicable rates: EmployerAssignedRatePercent, EmployerTaxableWageBase, resident county, work county, resident locality, work locality.
