Military spouse pays taxes in a different state than where she lives and works

Hello there, @MLBaxter. Hope you're doing well.

In QuickBooks Online, we suggest consulting an accountant or a tax advisor to help you manage employees living or working in different states. Once they're in a different state, it impacts your state withholding or unemployment payroll taxes, which we need a recommendation from your accountant. 

If you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll Full Service and need to add a work location in a new state, you'll have to contact our Payroll Support Team to help you with the setup. Here's how:

1. Go to Help at the upper-right corner.
2. Click Contact us.
3. Enter a short description of your concern. 
4. You can then choose how you want to start a conversation by choosing Chat, Callback, Call us.

On the other hand, if you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, Premium, and Elite, you can add a work location in a different or the same state by following the steps below.

1. Select the Workers menu.
2. Within the Employees tab, select the employee's name.
3. Select Edit ✎ next to Employment.
4. Select the Work location dropdown and select New Work Location.
5. Enter the work location address.
6. Select OK and then Done.

I've gathered some articles for more details about managing employees living or working in different states. See them below:

• Learn how to set up remote employees who live or work in different states.
• Set up and assign a new work location. 
• Collect sales tax in other states.
