Hello there, @sherri-phonecoa-.
Let's make sure you'll be able to set up your employee's profile and taxes correctly in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
In your case, it would be best to contact the state withholding and unemployment insurance agencies, and any applicable local tax agencies where your employees live and work. This is to confirm if you'll need to need to add UI for SC.
Once done, make sure to enter the correct details of your employee by following these steps:
- Go to the Payroll menu.
- Within the Employees tab, add a new employee, select Add an employee. Otherwise, select your employee from the list.
- In the Employment details section, select or add the work location where you’re required to pay State Unemployment Insurance. This might be different than where your employee physically works.
- In the Tax withholding section, scroll to the State withholding section. If you see two states:
- If your employee isn’t subject to or you aren’t required to collect state withholding for one of the states, in the Filing Status drop down ▼, select Do not withhold (exempt).
- If there’s a reciprocity agreement between the two states, select whether or not your employee provided you a Certificate of Nonresidence. This determines which State Withholding is collected.
- If you see a Local Taxes or Other taxes section, select the applicable taxes and/or enter the rates.
- If you or your employee are exempt from any taxes (not common), from Tax Exemptions, select the applicable tax(es).
- Click Done.
If you want to run payroll reports in the system, you can pull up a specific one that helps you get the information about your business and employees or any details your need. Check this article for more details: List of payroll reports.
Keep me posted on how this works. I'll be around the corner to assist you. Take care!
