Important: The IRS is working on withholding guidance related to the tax reform legislation enacted in December 2017. More information is available here: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-statement-withholding-for-2018. When the guidance is finalized, we will provide a new update, which may also include additional state tax changes.

Tax changes

The following state taxes will change effective January 1, 2018:

• Illinois (ILSWH)
• Kentucky (KYSWH)
• Maryland (MDSWH)
• South Carolina (SCSWH)

Note: If you already installed update 18.01 (which included the Social Security changes) and do not have employees who live or work in Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, or South Carolina, you do not need to install this update.

For more information about these tax changes (and the tax changes included in update 18.01), see the Payroll Tax Release Notes. You can also view the Release Notes from within Payroll by selecting Help > Documents or Help > Product Documents after you update the taxes.
