SOLVED

In Sage 100 2018 Payroll module, which Tax Rule should be applied to Cafeteria Plan deduction codes? We have a list to select from, but the only code I see that specifies being Cafeteria is code -805082 Health Savings Account - Cafe EE Deduction. Do we use this code for all cafeteria insurance benefits, or just for the savings accounts? My client is currently using code -805090 Medical Insurance Code DD EE Deduction for her cafeteria deductions, and the deductions are not affecting withholding or FICA withholding.

    Look down a little further you will see some things that say section 125.  I got trapped on that one with one of my first upgrades.  No one noticed it for about three payrolls and we hit quarter end and reconciled.

    However, be forewarned that not all cafeteria plan deductions have the same effect.  Medical insurance cafeteria's are different than other most other cafeteria plan deductions in that they affect both FIT and FICA/Medicare.
