I can help you track your employees' hours in different states to withhold the correct taxes, @arkvalleyinfo.

 

In the taxes part, just make sure that the employees in different states entered their correct details and tax information in W-2. This will show the accurate state taxes to withhold.

 

Here's how to invite your employee to fill in their information:

  1. Go to the Payroll menu from the left panel and then select Employees.
  2. Choose the Add an employee button.
  3. Add your employee's info, including their email address. This will automatically invite your employee to see their pay stubs and W-2s.
  4. If you want your new employee to add their details, select the Ask this employee to enter their personal, tax, and banking info with QuickBooks Workforce checkbox.
  5. Select Done.

 

Please take note that the employee self-setup option is only available to new employees added after the initial payroll setup process is fully completed and you've run your first payroll. You can reference this article to learn more: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs, W-2 and more.

 

Also, you can track and manage employees hours by creating a weekly timesheet or single-time activity. You'll want to set up and integrate QuickBooks Time into your QuickBooks Online Payroll account.
