APPENDIX 2: CALCULATING STATE TAX TABLE CODES
CALCULATING BREAKPOINTS
IMPORTANT: This is a one time only procedure. Once Ihe code lor the tax lable has been established and entered
into the regisler, i 1 never has
10
be repealed. Please lake Ihe lime
10
lollow Ihe example given and lamiliarize yourse~
wilh Ihe melhod
01
delermining the code. Then using Ihe Works heel that follows, lill in Ihe appropriate amounts Irom
your approved tax table and derivB the c:orresponding code by
si~ly
lollowing the sleps given.
Every tax table c:onsisls of tax brackets. Each conseCJtive lax brackel is assigned a tax which is exaclly one cent
higher than that assigned 10 the previous lax bracket. In the Program Example thai follows a sale Irom
O~ 10 14~
is
nol laxed. However, in the nell lax brackel a sale from
15~ 10 37~
is taxed
1~.
Likewise, in the nexl tax brackel a
safe from
JB~
10
6U is taxed
2~.
The tax lable progresses in a similar lorm.
The diNerence between Ihe slarting amounts
01
each consecutive lax brackel is called a -breakpoint-. Every lax table
consists of a partiCJlar sequence of breakpoints. In the Program Exampte that lollows, Ihe dinerence between
O~
and and 1511: is IS!:. Therefore 15 is Ihe,lirS1 breakpoint. Likewise, Ihe diMerence between 1511: and 38( is
23~.
Therelore 23 is Ihe second breakpoint. The breakpoints progress in a particular sequence Ihroughoul Ihe enlire lax
lable. This particular sequence
01
breakpoinlS is used
10
determine Ihe programming code.
The sequence 01 breakpoinlS
is
divided inlo -Regular'" and -Irregular" paUerns. All lax tables repeal a paHem 01
regular breakpoinls ailer a lower irregular breakpoinl pallern. To del ermine Ihe breakpoinl pauerns, il is lirsl
necessary
10
calCulale Ihe breakpoinls. This is easily done by using Ihe Wontsheet Ihal lollows. Simply lill in Chart
A
w~h
Ihe amounts I rom your approved lax table. Then calculate the breakpoinls as was previously explained and lill
[hem in on Chart B. Conlinue to calculate Ihe breakpoints unlil you have lound Ihe "Regular'" repeal breakpoinl
pauern.
Please reler 10 Ihe Program Example. Nole Ihe followil1!f:
Breakpoinls - 15,23,25,25,25,30,35,34,30 - Represenllhe -Irregular" paUern.
BreakpoinlS - 29,28,29,29;28,29,28 - Represenlthe -Regular" repeal panern.
As
a check 10 ensure Ihal Ihe "Regular" repeal panern has correctly been located. add up all the breakpoints 01 Ihe
paUem. In
rrosl
cases the resulting number will be
a
multipte
01
a dollar (I.e. $1.00 or $2.00) or must be
a
number
that will divide evenly inlO a dollar (I.e.
101t.25~,501t).
In Ihe Program Example, Ihe breakpoinls -
29,28,29,29,28,29,28 add up
10 200.
Entering the Program Code: - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Once you have Iilled in bolh Chart A and Chart 8 and have determined Ihe "Irregular" and "Regular" breakpoint
patterns, you are ready to derive the necessary program code Irom Ihis information.
There are seven sleps necessary. Please refer
10

STEP A: Type the Tax number [1,2, or 3] you wanllhe tax COde assigned to, Ihen press the [XITIME} key.
