If an employee lives in a different state then could we mark him as tax exempted from our home state?

That's a great question, Iftikhar Ahmad.

Where your employees live and work determines the state payroll taxes you and your employees are subject to. I'd recommend checking with your state tax agency to see what applies to the setup. 

To add the location, I'd suggest following these steps: 

1.  Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Select your employee.
3. From Employment details, select Start or Edit.
4. From the Work location dropdown, select Add work location. Or select an existing location, then Save.
5. Search your address. If you don’t see your address, select Enter manually. 
6. Enter your work location address, then select Add location. Note that this must be a physical address and not a P.O. Box. 
7. When finished, select Save.
