Tax Table updates for 2011

I'm new to simply and bookkeeping and would like to know what I need to do to have the tax table information updated for each employee.  I download payroll release "D" for 2010 in late December.  I assumed that the tax table numbers would automatically update when I went in yesterday but it still seems to have 2010 federal/province tax numbers, CPP and EI also not updated etc.  Do I have to manually get the numbers from the CRA website and type them in?  Also, what else would I have to update.   

  •  Are you from Ontario?  Last year Federal Claim amount was 10,382.00 which the previous person entered.  On the CRA site for Ont I found $10,527 so did I just enter the difference in the amount column?

     Hi there:  If you are using the Maintenance, Update Employee, then you just put in the difference.  If you are doing each employee individually then you have to type in the new amount in each employee's window.   Rita Deering

  •  What do you put for the indexing amounts.  I was told to just remove what I have a leave both the federal and provincial blank as it is not required. I called CRA and they have no idea they told me as to what I would put in these fields. 

     I'm really confused as it what I should be doing in these 2 index fields.

     Hi there:  The two index fields can be left blank.  They don't mean anything in particular as far as how the system operates.     Rita Deering
