Has anyone in Ohio who employees who live in another town besides where business have trouble with Local Taxes and School Districts being set up correctly?

Thank you for visiting the Community today, jsell.

 

It can be challenging to get everything set up correctly, especially if your employees live in different towns than your business.  I'm here to assist you in seamlessly setting up the local taxes for your worker.

 

Obtaining the physical addresses of your employees' home and work locations is crucial to guarantee the most precise determination of local tax jurisdictions. If you're unsure about the specific city, municipal, or school district taxes that your employees are required to pay, it'd be best to reach out to your local tax agency for guidance and clarification.

 

You can also try checking out the Ohio local tax finder for more information. Simply click on the ZIP code link and enter the 4-digit ZIP code extension for both the employee's residence and work locations to find the relevant local taxes. In case you're not aware of the 4-digit extension, you can use the USPS Address and ZIP code locator.

 

Once you have the right data for the local tax jurisdiction, use these steps to configure the worker's local tax:

 

  1. In your company, navigate to the Payroll menu on the left panel and choose Employees.
  2. From the list, choose the employee you're working on. 
  3. From Tax withholding, select Edit.
  4. In the Local taxes section, select the applicable local taxes. 
  5. If you don’t see the expected local taxes, select Edit location. Enter the city and ZIP code combination for the local tax jurisdiction you need. If you’re in PA, you can enter the specific PSD code. 
  6. Click the Save button.

 

Next up, enter your local tax account number and indicate the frequency of your deposits. To get detailed instructions, simply proceed to Step 2 in this article: Set up local taxes in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

After completing the setup process, we highly recommend utilizing pay schedules to streamline your regular payroll. Take a look at these links for detailed instructions on how to proceed:
