How can you set up an employee who live in one state and work in a different state ?

Good day ccarradine,

 

It's my pleasure to guide you about the multistate employment situation.

 

To set up this employee, you can check if there is a reciprocity agreement between your employee's work location state and residence state.

 

Some states have a reciprocity agreement, the employee only pays taxes in one of the states, the state where the employee lives.

 

Once you verified this agreement, then you can add a work location. Here’s how:

 

  1.     Choose Workers in your left navigation pane, then Employees.
  2.     Select the employee's name.
  3.     Click the pencil icon to edit beside Employment.
  4.     Select the correct work location from the Work location drop-down.
  5.     Hit Done.

 

Here's a great source that you can check for further information on how to handle multi-state employment: About multistate employment payroll situations.

If you need some information about managing your QuickBooks account, you can also visit this article as your future reference: Help articles.

 

I’m always here if you have follow-up questions.
