Drake Accounting®: How do I get the Pennsylvania UC-2 and UC-2A to produce correctly?
PAUI needs to be setup to ensure the correct calculation of forms UC-2 and UC-2A. In setting up PAUI, you will make entries at:
- Firm > Rates & Withholding Setup > State Setup
- Employees > Deduction & Benefits > Deductions tab
- Employees > Employee Setup > Deductions tab
Note that the PA UC-2 and UC-2A cannot be saved unless the PA Unemployment ID has been entered in correct format (for example, 12-3456) at Client > Edit > Contact Information tab.
- Go to Firm > Rates & Withholding Setup > State Setup > Select PA on the left.
-
Enter the employee contribution rate in the Employee Withholding field (labelled Training Contribution Rate in DAS18).
Amount used above is only for demonstration.
- Click Save.
- Go to Employees > Deduction & Benefits.
-
Set up a PAUI deduction.
Do not use a withholding Code.
- Click Save.
- Go to Employees > Employee setup.
- Select the applicable employee.
- Go to the Deductions tab and click on PAUI under Available Deduction Name (on the left).
- Click the right arrow () to transfer to the Employee Deduction Name (on the right).
- Click Save.
These entries will include the PAUI deduction when you prepare and print payroll.
The PAUI information also will be carried to PA Form UC-2, line 3 (Employee Withholding Rate x Gross Wages = Employee Contributions).
