I got your back about setting up local taxes in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @usercoders3. With this information, we can determine how the application works in complying with your local tax jurisdictions.
Setting up local taxes for your employees depends on what payroll plan you subscribe to. For QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium and Elite, we can set up local taxes. Otherwise, options are unavailable.
If you subscribe to any of the plans supporting local taxes, QuickBooks will automatically depopulate counties where your employee is subject as long as the address is set up correctly. From this section, you can select multiple counties as long as it belongs to what QuickBooks detected.
To begin setting up, please follow the steps below:
- Go to the Payroll menu, and select Employees.
- Select your employee.
- Navigate to the Tax withholding section. Then, select Edit.
- In the Local Taxes section, select the applicable local taxes.
- Select Save.
Moreover, I included this article where you can see guidelines for adding local tax account number and deposit frequency to pay and file your taxes: Set up local taxes in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
Additionally, QuickBooks offers a variety of payroll reports. This will give you a more thorough picture of the gross pay, deductions, and tax data for your employee over a specific time frame. For a comprehensive list of available payroll reports and instructions on how to get them, please visit this article: Run payroll reports.
You can always post if you have more concerns about taxes or any QuickBooks-related matters. I’m just a post away, and take care!
