All of a sudden there is a state listed on our payroll taxes as if we have an employee in that state. We have never had an employee there so not sure why it is showing up

Thanks for reaching out and It's nice to see you here, Debbieb.

 

You can remove the state by inactivating it by going to the Payroll Settings. But before doing that, make sure that no active employees are currently assigned to the work location. 

 

In order to opt-out, you'll need to do the following:

  • Inactivate all work locations in that state.
  • Set the tax status for all employees to "Do Not Withhold" for that state.
  • Confirm that you wish to disable Multistate Plus support for that state.

Here's how: 

  1. Select the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Payroll Settings.
  3. Under Company and Account, click Work Locations.
  4. Select a Work Locations.
  5. Mark the Inactive checkbox.
  6. Once done, click Save.
