Hello, 

We have an employee who moved to Seattle last month, but is in town this week for work.  How do I process her paycheck next week, when her first week of the pay period she was in Seattle; and this week, she is here in California?

I appreciate all the input!

Thank you so much.

Hello there, MKlein1.

 

I understand your concern about the multi-state payroll. I'm glad to offer you a solution to address this situation effectively.

 

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) provides flexibility in handling payroll for employees who work in multiple states within the same pay period. In your case, since your employee has worked in California for this week and will be working in Washington next, you can create separate paychecks for each state.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu.
  2. Select Employee Center.
  3. Choose your employee.
  4. Click the Payroll Info tab, then Taxes.
  5. Tap the State tab, then choose CA in the State drop-down arrow.
  6. Enter other information needed.
  7. Hit OK.

 

Once done, you can now create paychecks for California. Then, do the same process for the Washington paycheck.

 

When you're ready to pay your employees, run payroll as usual

 

Additionally, you can visit this page to learn how to access your state agency websites.

 

Let me know if you have other questions about creating paychecks in QuickBooks. I'm always here to help. Take care.
