Issue #2: Wrong State Tax Calculation

1. If one employee claimed high number of exemptions, it will lower his state tax.

2. Such issue may be caused by pre-tax deduction. When you generate a paycheck, you can view the summary part. If the Taxable Income is lower than the Gross Income, that means you set up some deduction that is exempt from federal and state taxes.
