Allocating to Select Wells

You may only have certain wells that you need to withhold the Cost Recovery Fee From as other wells may have it already withheld from another purchaser or some wells may be located in a different state.

I assume that for the wells that have the Cost Recovery Fee already deducted, you are not the one withholding the severance taxes. If that is the case, you would not have a tax table associated with the well. If a tax table is not associated with the well, then it will not be included in the processing for these reports so you are fine and do not need to do anything.

If in fact you do have wells that you have a tax table setup for but you do not want to charge this fee, then you can also do that. You will need to set up two separate tax tables for the state of Ohio. The first tax table can only have the severance taxes on it. That tax table can be associated with wells that you need to deduct the tax for, but do not need
to withhold the Cost Recovery Fee from. The second tax table will have both the severance taxes and the Cost Recovery
Fee on it and can be associated with the wells that you need to deduct both from.

If a well is in the state of Ohio and should not be included in the Cost Recovery Fee Processing because it is plugged or for any other reason, you can do so by removing the tax table from it, selecting a tax table that does not have the Cost Recovery Fee in it, or change the Status of the well to be Inactive, Sold, or Plugged on the Well Information window.
