Form ID: (PR101060)

You use this form to maintain deduction and benefit codes and do the following:

  • Specify how this item affects taxes.
  • Specify the information related to the health insurance plan for ACA (Affordable Care Act) reporting purpose.
  • Specify if the code is keeping track of the workers’ compensation liabilities for a specific state. You need to create a benefit code for each state.

  • Specify whether the code determines a benefit that produces no financial transactions.
