Setting up payroll and the system is asking for a second state tax info but i don't have to pay a second state. How can i delete it?

Hello there, msk.

Let me explain why QuickBooks asks to complete the second state payroll setup.

When setting up payroll, you'll want to enter the required details, such as work location and employees' addresses. QuickBooks generates forms and taxes based on employee residence and work locations.

To ensure compliance with tax regulations, the software will prompt you to enter information for each state. Some agencies have reciprocity agreements, requiring employers to file and pay taxes for each state, even if the business and employees are in different states.

Additionally, deleting the state is unavailable. To complete the setup, you'll want to enter 0 for the rates and dummy account numbers.

Furthermore, I've added this article about filling W-2: Process and file W-2 forms.

Let me know if you have other questions about the payroll setup. I'll be happy to assist you further. Take care.
