I'll help you track your employees working from home, @h_tm-live-com.

 

How you set up your payroll will also depend on where your employees live. Hiring remote workers has the advantage of giving you access to a wider global talent pool. Nevertheless, because of where they live, paying taxes can be challenging.

 

You can check these blogs to learn more about managing payroll employees working from home: 

 

 

These are the steps to add a new state to your payroll product if you have an employee in one. You can also check this article to set up their taxes: Set up employees and payroll taxes in a new state.

 

Here's how to set u or make changes to your employees:

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. If your employee is new, select Add an employee. Otherwise, select your employee from the list.
  3. From Employment details, select Start or Edit. Select or add the work location where you’re required to pay State Unemployment Insurance. If you have remote employees, the work location may be different than where your employee physically works. Then select Save.
  4. From Tax withholding, select Edit. Go to the State withholding section. If you see two states:
  • If you don’t need to collect state withholding in one state: in the Filing Status ▼ dropdown, select Do not withhold (exempt).
  • If there’s a reciprocity agreement between the two states, select if your employee gave you a Certificate of Nonresidence form. The form determines which State Withholding is collected.
  1. If you see a Local Taxes or Other taxes section, select the applicable taxes and enter the rates.
  2. If you or your employee are exempt from any taxes (not common), from Tax Exemptions, select the applicable tax(es).
  3. When finished, select Save.

What do you mean with "track them on QuickBooks"?

Do you need to make sure your employees are working on computers and want to track their time?
