How to stop filing a state income tax filing when an employee is terminated

I recognize how efficient it is for you to stop filing a state income tax for your employee who's been terminated, Cindy.

 

Let me guide you through the process and provide you with further help. 

 

To begin with, you have to inactive all work locations in that state and set the employee's tax status to Do Not Withhold. This way, you can change your employee's status on payroll.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Look for the Gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
  2. Click Work Locations under the Company and Account section.
  3. Look for the location that needs to be made inactive and click on it.
  4. Check the box for Inactive.
  5. Click Save.

 

Once done, you can change the employee's tax status under the Tax withholding section for you to be able to stop the state income tax filing.

 

I'd be glad to show you how:

 

  1. On the left navigational panel, look for the Payroll menu.
  2. Then, select the Employees tab.
  3. Look for the name of the employee that's no longer active and click on it.
  4. Select Edit, under the Tax withholding section.
  5. Make the necessary changes.
  6. Hit Save.

 

Lastly, here's an article you can browse just in case you need assistance on how to run, print, and customize payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Payroll:  Run payroll reports

 

I'll always be around at any time if you require additional assistance managing your employee's income tax. Let me know in the comments so I can further back you up. Keep safe.
