PDS 2024 Tax Tables Update
Since you can modify tax tables manually, you only need to load them if you haven't already made the required changes for 2024.
There are two types of tax tables you can load: the Federal Tax Tables for 2024, which affect everyone, and the tax tables for individual states. If your state tax tables have changed, load the tax tables to make sure you're current. PDS does not update local tax tables; you can obtain them from your local government.
Before You Start
Automatic Process
When a tax update is available, you're automatically prompted to install it when you print paychecks.
Web Process
You can load your tax update from the PDS Client Portal.
Federal Tax Changes
The updated federal tables are contained in one file. Do not load this file until you have completed your last payroll for December 2023.
- Federal withholding tables were updated. Withholding methods and information on using Form W-4P and Form W-4R are included in IRS Publication 15-T.CAUTION: Beginning with the 2020 Form W-4, the new tables are to be applied to wages if employees increase their withholding to account for higher tax rates due to income from other jobs in their household (under Step 2). For information on how to apply the new table in PDS, see Enter Employment Information.
- The social security wage base limit increased to $168,600.
- For social security, the tax rate is 6.2% each for the employee and employer.
- The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% each for the employee and employer.
For more information on all federal tax changes, see IRS Publication 15-T.
When you install the federal tables, the FUTA tax amount is automatically inserted.
If you need to adjust this amount based on the rules in IRS Publication 15-T, you must do so manually. On the Payroll tab, click Under .Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), enter the current rate and limit. If you aren't liable for FUTA tax, enter 0 for these.
State Tax Table Information
Some states don't use tax tables, and others use many. Look below to verify the tax table names you're using in the program. If you have questions about tax issues, contact your accountant.
State Tax Table Names
The following is a list of all the tax tables included with the install. The old tables are only replaced if the names are exactly as listed below. Go through your state tax tables and make changes where necessary. The names are not case-sensitive, but punctuation and spacing are very important.
* These tables contain updated data for 2024 and/or the table names have changed.
** These tables are new for 2024.

CAUTION:Make sure you use the appropriate allowance. For all new employees, you must use the withholding form (DR 0004), where the deduction amount differs based on the number of jobs, number of children, and annual salary. Refer to the Colorado Withholding Tax Guide (tax.colorado.gov) for details.
To handle this in PDS, we have the CO -All table. It uses the same rate as the other two tables, but all of the standard deduction and withholding allowance amounts are set to $0. You must figure out what the standard deduction should be for an employee, and enter it on their record. Go to . Under State Tax Options, enter the amount in the Other Exemptions Amount field for each employee. The program will use this amount as the standard deduction before applying the 4.55% tax rate.

Effective 10/1/22: Withholding instructions for the new adopted child exemption -- See Departmental Notice #1 (in.gov/dor) from the Indiana Department of Revenue.
To account for this in PDS: On the Payroll tab, click Under .State Tax Options, there is a field for dependents. For each adopted child, add two dependents to the total.
For example, an employee has one biological child and one adopted child, enter 3 dependents; that is, 1 (for the biological child) + 2 (for the adopted child) = 3 total dependents.
