Good morning, I am looking for a way for an employee to have a flat Federal Tax rather than the standard percentage.

Hi Jim,
Infor also partners with ADP and has released a native API to ADP's tax filing service. It helps to support compliance requirements that ERP payroll isn't designed to manage. This should solve the issue.

Hi Jim, per the IRS (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/employees/tax-withholding), employees cannot designate a flat dollar amount for withholding, it must be calculated based on W4 values and the tax tables. See the last sentence.

------------------------------------
How to figure your withholding amount

It depends on:

* The amount of income you earn. Read more...
* The information you give to your employer on Form W–4, Employee's Withholding Certificate.

Note: You must specify a filing status on the Form W-4 and complete other parts of the form if you expect to have additional income, deductions beyond the standard deduction, or tax credits. You cannot specify only a dollar amount for your employer to withhold.
------------------------------------

But... Theoretically, if they figure out a way to fill out the W4 so the results of the calculation is zero, then they can put in a dollar amount in step 4(c) which effectively does the same thing. Show less...
