I live in NC but work in VA. What taxes should be withheld from my paychecks?

Hello, @thutchinson. I'm here to share information about taxes withheld in QuickBooks.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), setting up tax withholding depends on your specific circumstances, such as living in one state NC, and working in another VA. It’s best to contact the state withholding and unemployment insurance agencies, and any applicable local tax agencies where you live and work.  They can tell you which taxes apply to your situation. And they’ll help you register for the account numbers you’ll need to pay the taxes and file the forms.  

QuickBooks system will still ask you to set up withholding accounts even if aren't required to collect the tax from your employee. This is to ensure you can keep an accurate record of these taxes so you can easily monitor and remit them to the appropriate tax-collecting agency.

Here's how to set up the accounts:

1. Select Setup.
2. Under Taxes, select State Taxes - [State].
3. Enter the info applicable to the taxes you are required to pay. For anything not required, leave the account number field blank and enter 0 for any rates.
    

To know more about the process, you can take a look at the following resources below:
