We need to delete a second state we don't use on payroll. We were set up as multi-state but we don't use multi-state option. Need to eliminate second state.

I keep getting messages to complete setup for our second state taxes - but we never did and never will need a second state. How do I get rid of this multi-state payroll option?

This is one of my biggest complaints and I've asked many times for a separate mailing address section thru feedback.  If you enter an employee address that is out of state it will say you need taxes for that state.  If it would JUST go off the work location address, it wouldn't be an issue.  But they say it's "working as intended" for it to also determine taxes off the mailing address.  I live in a University town and the students come and go and deal with this all the dang time.  Eventually you learn to ignore the messages.  The only work-around is to change the address of the employee to the business address.  I put the correct one in the notes on the employee record.

Good afternoon, @KPles

 

It's great to see a new face here in the Community. Let's work together to eliminate this second state payroll. 

 

If you have no active employees assigned to the location, you can follow the steps below: 

 

  1. Go to the Gear (Settings) icon in the top right-hand corner. 
  2. Select Payroll Settings
  3. Under Company and Account, press the Work Locations
  4. Pick the exact state, and then mark the Inactive checkbox. 
  5. Tap Save

 

It's that easy! 

 

I hope this does the trick to resolve your issue. Please let us know how it goes. Reach back out if you have any trouble along the way. Take care!

We both know it's never "that easy"!  I'm an accountant user and standalone payroll doesn't allow changes apparently.  {See Attachment}
