Nevada Workers' Compensation

Important! Even though the State of Nevada does not have state income tax, the state income tax calculation needs to be set up in 5-3-1 Payroll Calculations so that the Nevada worker’s compensation report prints correctly. Additionally, the state income tax calculation needs to be set up so that W2 forms calculate correctly.

Nevada calculates Workers’ Compensation differently from most states; refer to the guidelines below.

Payroll Calculation

  1. In the 5-3-1 Payroll Calculations window, the payroll calculation for Nevada workers' compensation must include the following for it to function correctly:
  2. In the Default Max box, enter the maximum amount of wages. Sage 100 Contractor stops computing when the maximum is reached.
  3. In the Maximum Type list, select 4-Wages/Year.
  4. In the State box, enter NV.

Workers’ Compensation Codes

In the Workers’ Compensation Codes window, include the state abbreviation NV in the State cell for each Nevada Workers’ Compensation Code you enter.
