• Next, access the applicable tax Deduction Description, and click the Copy Standard Setup button, which is located on the Compute tab; this will change any rate and threshold amounts.
• Finally, a window will appear, asking you to verify the deduction you want to update; the Deduction Description ID and the Deduction Type will display; click Select.
