Yes, you can process payroll for an out-of-state employee, tiffanyb1105.
In QuickBooks Online, you will deal with a multi-state employment situation. It's either an employee who works outside the primary work location or the one who lives outside their work location site.
Your first step is to add the employee. Then, enter an additional work location. Let me show you how:
- Go to Settings, then select Payroll Settings.
- Under Business Information, select Work Locations.
- Select Add a Work Location, and enter the work location address.
- Click Save.
Next, you need to check with your state about the reciprocity agreement. This is to know if the employee is subject to pay taxes or not. Check out this link for more details: About multistate employment payroll situations.
Once verified, your last step is to set up payroll taxes for the new state. Then, you can pay your employees in QuickBooks Online.
