Change Personal Federal Tax Credit type
Federal Personal Tax amount calculation can be changed from the employee tab.
1. Go to Payroll > Employees and press Edit beside an employee’s name.

The existing federal tax will default as the basic personal amount for the calendar year. To change the Personal Tax Credit amount, click Add Personal Federal Tax Configuration.
3. Under the Personal Tax Amount Type, select one of the following
- Maximum additional amount: $13,229.00, should be applied for annual income below $150,473.00
- Minimum additional amount: $12,298.00, should be applied for annual income above $214,368.00

If you choose to Calculate based on net income, you will see a note indicating that "The Federal basic personal amount may be lower, depending on the employee’s salary”. This is because the Federal basic personal amount is being calculated based on a formula that varies on the employee’s salary.
