I am not doing business in Ohio just having an employee that lives in Ohio and will be working for us in PA

Thanks for joining us here, TonyL2.

If you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll, follow the steps that were shared above on how to change or verify if the work location is set up to PA. 

Although, some payroll taxes, including state and local withholding taxes, are calculated according to the employee's residence location as well as your employee's work location.

They might also be calculated and reported differently, depending on the payroll regulations of the particular states where your employee lives and works.

I'd also recommend checking out these articles for more details:

I have set up our first employee but the tax liabilities withheld are not posting to my general ledger accounts.  The withholdings are properly listed on the payroll check stub but are not posting to the GL.

I'll help you check your accounting preferences and make sure that the withholding amounts are mapped to the correct General Ledger accounts. Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
2. Click Accounting under the Preferences section.
3. Scroll-down to the Tax Expense Accounts or Tax Liability Accounts and select the account for each taxes. 
4. Click OK. 

Once done, go back to your General Ledger and check if you can already see the withholding. 

Also, make sure to run reports after processing payroll. This will give you a quick review of the transactions that you just made. Here's a guide for more details: Run payroll reports.
