It doesn't look to me like there is a separate TXF category for that  
tax. It is an income-based tax withheld by the state, so you could try  
assigning the state withholding category to it, and double-check any  
reports/imports to make sure they are summed instead of truncated. You  
might also have to mess with tax software a bit if you do try  
importing the data.
