I ran validate / repair, and a couple of issues were found which Repair took care or (ran Validate again to verify no more issues).  However the New Item Wizard never ran, and I still don't see the item mentioned in the instructions in my Payroll Items or in the "Taxes/Other" screen on an employee's record.

Are there instruction on how to manually add this item?

EDIT: Correction, I found it.

I was going to employee/Payroll Info/Taxes/Other and clicking the pull down arrow under "ITEM NAME" and expecting to see the AL - OT Withholding Exemption item listed.  Instead, I found I have to click "Add New" and the click on 'User Defined Tax" to reveal "AL - OT Withholding Exemption" as an option.

So chalk this up to misunderstanding the instructions.  I think I'm good to go now.
