We are trying to move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, but we seem to have run into a wall with the online version of Payroll not being able to accommodate the Oregon Worker Benefit Fund Assessment.
This was very straightforward in the desktop version of Payroll, but I've just spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone with an QBO Payroll tech who came to the conclusion that it cannot be done in the online version.
Can this possibly be true? Surely there are QBO Payroll customers with Oregon employees. How do you handle this tax when the software doesn't know anything about it?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for your prompt reply, Mel_Raff.
I can share additional information on adding a second location in QuickBooks Online.
If you're using QuickBooks Online Core, Premium, or Elite, you can add a work location in the employee's profile. Let me show you how:

Hi there, @Mel_Raff.
Welcome to QuickBooks Online (QBO), and thank you for adding a post here in the Community. I can share with you some information about the Oregon Worker Benefit Fund (OR WBF) in QuickBooks.
In QuickBooks Desktop, you can track or set up OR WBF following the steps from here: Set up or change Oregon Worker Benefit Fund (OR WBF). In QBO, the WBF is automatic as long as your employee's work location is in Oregon.
To set up a work location in QBO:
After that, assign the location to your employees.
If you had Full-Service Payroll, change the location per employee's record.
Once done, you're now ready to process payroll in QBO. I'm adding this link as your reference: Process or run payroll.
If you have any other payroll questions, let me know by adding a comment below. I'm more than happy to help. Keep safe!
This is very encouraging. Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, when I click the gear icon and select Payroll settings, I have no "Locations" option available. I have only General Tax, Federal Tax, California Tax, Oregon Tax, Auto Payroll, Taxes and Forms, Federal Preferences, E-mail Notifications, Shared Data, Bank Accounts, Direct Deposit, Printing, and Accounting.
I'd appreciate additional information on how to add a second location.

That did it! And now the OR-WBF is showing up. Thank you!
