List OPT Payments allows you to record any OPT payment, EMST (Emergency and Municipal Services Tax) payments and/or any LST (Local Services Tax) payments the employee has already paid through another employer (DO NOT list amounts paid through StaffSuite - the system automatically tracks these amounts). This amount will be deducted from what is owed for the year, but will not appear on the employee's W-2 (since it should be reported on the W-2 they receive from the other employer).

Note: The balance forward procedure should still be used if the OPT tax was paid through you this year prior to a fresh installation of StaffSuite (e.g., during a conversion). This will ensure that the OPT payment is reported on the employee's W-2.
