Question

How do I edit the type of withholdings taxes in payroll? For example, I have two employees that work in DC but live in MD. They should only have MD withholdings, not DC.

Quickbooks payroll has DC withholdings for these employees but they should only have MD withholdings. How can I change these so it does MD for these employees every time?

I've got the steps to help you edit the type of withholdings taxes, clester. 

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll, we can modify the state withholding tax and choose what state you won't collect any taxes. 

 

Here's how:  

 

  1. On the Tax withholding tab, click Edit. 

  2. From the State withholding section, select the State you won't collect any taxes. 
  3. On the Filing status dropdown menu, choose Do not withhold (exempt). 
  4. Hit Save. 

 

For more information, visit this guide: Set up employees and payroll taxes in a new state. 

 

Then, we can run payroll reports to give you a closer look at your business and employees.
