I would like to hire an employee with a work permit. How do I enter their information?

Welcome to the Community forum, dana20.

I'm here to get the help you need in setting up an employee in QuickBooks Online.

There is information that you need to gather before setting up an employee. These are the following:

• W-4 information - this is the personal data of the employee such as name, address, social security number, filing status, number of allowances, and exemptions if any.
• I-9 form 
• Pay info
• Federal and state filing status 
• Time off policy
• Email address 

Once the above details are ready, here's what you'll need to do in adding an employee to your payroll:

1. In the left menu, click Payroll. 
2. Go to the Emloyees tab. 
3. Tap the Add an employee button.
4. Enter the employee's information. 
5. Hit Done. 

See below screenshots for visual guidance:

Take a look at this article for more information about this process: Add or edit an employee in Online Payroll.
