Indiana charges both state and county income taxes.
See State of Indiana Departmental Notice #1,
available from the Indiana Department of Revenue,
for a listing of local tax rates for each county.
Payroll tax formulas for some counties changed
in 2008 (some rates or withholding formulas are
pretty much guaranteed to change every year,
since there are 100+ different county
withholding rates).
Each county has separate tax rates for residents and
non-residents. For companies doing work in different counties, this system
makes payroll extremely complicated. You may need to use a large number
of different wage schedules to track the wages earned in each county.
HINT-- Turtle Creek Software provides free annual updates for
US federal and Indiana tax withholding tables and formulas.
