Ohio Payroll Tax Table Change Effective 8/01/2026
I received an alert from Ohio that payroll tax tables are changing August 1, 2026, but I don’t see any GP updates for it at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/s-e/gp/tugp2018_391.
I installed the most recent update listed, Round 5 for Arkansas and Utah, but there is no mention of Ohio. My Ohio tables appear outdated according to the Ohio website.
Can anyone clarify? Thanks!

Hey Seth,
Unfortunately, it appears that the Automatic Tax Update is no longer functional. The assumption I have is because Terry Retired and she had maintained this on a PC she had at her desk. I assume this got powered off when she retired and this process will not work going forward and will need to rely on the manual approach.
The manual approach is just as simple but a couple extra steps.
1. Download the Tax update from the link below.
U.S. Payroll Tax Update for Microsoft Dynamics GP | Microsoft Learn
a. We can see the Ohio update was released in round 6.
2. You can then install it two ways.
a. Open the Payroll Update Method window.
i. Dynamics GP | Maintenance | U.S. Payroll Updates | Check for Tax Updates.
b. Mark the Manual Radial Button and click Next.
c. Click the Folder button and path out to the location you saved the download to and select the folder location.
d. Click Process.
i. One thing to keep in mind is this process only works once per download. If you already ran it and want to do it again, you need to download it again.
1. Not sure why this happens but is an odd thing I have noticed. š.
e. Click Finish.
3. Now you can check the Payroll Tax Setup window and verify the date of the Last Tax Update to verify it was successful.
a. Administration >> Setup >> System >> Payroll Tax
b. This should show 6-12-2026.
4. Here is what the tax tables look like.
I hope this helps!
Thank you!

Hey Donald,
I would agree. Thanks for pointing this out.
Looks like the Tax Download from Microsoft might be the previous rounds still even though it says Round 6. In the Overview section, it states that the 2026 Round 6 “Released on 7-29-2026′ contains changes for Georgia and Ohio.

Down a little the Tax Update Changes shows the Tax Table was updated only for Ohio.
Looking at the Downloads part, it shows the release date of 7-29-2026 and the description says 2026 R6 so it should be the Round 6 we see from the above.
The link below gives us actual details on what was changed for the release and does contain 7-29-2026 release information.

This states that the Tax Rate for Filing Status NA, the If over ‘0’ but not over ‘26,050’ the tax rate is 1.6 and Tax Amount of ‘0’. for if over ‘26,060’ but Not Over ‘100,000’ a Tax Amount of ‘416.80’ with a tax rate of ‘2.990%’ on Excess Over ‘ 26.050’. Then we have If Over ‘100,000’ but Not Over ‘And Over’ with a Tax Amount of ‘2627.91 with a Tax Rate of ‘3.4%’ On Excess of ‘100,000’ for Ohio.
Looking at the Tax Tables after updating using the Round 6 from the website, this is not what I am seeing. I am seeing:
Tax Rate for Filing Status NA, the If over ‘0’ but not over ‘26,050’ the tax rate is 1.77500 and Tax Amount of ‘0’. for if over ‘26,060’ but Not Over ‘100,000’ a Tax Amount of ‘462.39’ with a tax rate of ‘2.990%’ on Excess Over ‘ 26.050’. Then we have If Over ‘100,000’ but Not Over ‘And Over’ with a Tax Amount of ‘2673.50’ with a Tax Rate of ‘3.64%’ On Excess of ‘100,000’ for Ohio.
I tried finding the Round 5 Tax Update but cannot seem to find it. My guess here is that these are still the Round 5 Tax Updates and the name just got changed and published round 5 again :).
Georgia appears wrong as well.
I went and compared the Round 5 information for Arkansas changes and these match the documentation for Round 5.
At this point, my assumption is they published the wrong Tax File as the Date in the script for the Tax Update is 6-12-2026.
Until Microsoft corrects this, the changes can be made to the Tax Tables to reflect the new changes for Ohio if needed.
Taxes are just an estimate so imo it’s not a huge deal.
Hopefully they get this correct on the next round.
I hope this helps!
Thank you!

Brandon,
Thanks again for the details you’ve shared. This is ludicrous!
I changed the Ohio tables manually in the UI before the 7/29/2026 Round 6 appeared. I later installed Round 6 to get Georgia also. Round 6 has now overwritten my Ohio corrections with bad info. And the Georgia tables are suspect also.
I’ll re-enter Ohio changes again in the UI. We’ve had Georgia employees in the past but none currently. I wonder if Microsoft is listening.
Regards,
Don McCready
