Alaska State Tax

Important! Even though the State of Alaska does not have state income tax, the state income tax calculation needs to be set up in the 5-3-1 Payroll Calculations window. Additionally, the state income tax calculation needs to be set up so that state wages can be tracked for other purposes.

Sage 100 Contractor still requires a marital status on the state tax calculation. Use the status that applies to each employee below. The status has no affect on the amount of state withholding, and no state tax will be computed.

Status	Description
1-Single	Single Person
2-Married	Married
3-Head of Household	Head of Household
4-Married/Separate	Married Filing Separate
5-Married/Joint	Married Joint
