By starting this seven months into the year, I will end up having three W2's at the end of the year, two with each state and the third with both states on one... Is the issue that both states want to actually see what the other state earnings are? I upload a file to Missouri for W2 info and I have to manually enter W2 info to KS, and I'm not 100% sure KS has a second state location on their upload fields. Will find out in January when I do them.
Next question is, since you can no longer use both employee files, you can only use one timesheet, as you can only have one timesheet per employee, per week. This will pull ALL time into one paycheck. So the question then is, do I then have to delete the KS work off the MO check and then do the opposite when creating the second paycheck? I have never tried deleting or adding time directly on the paycheck, so I'm trying to clarify before I have to do this at end of week... Like I said, I can modify the SSN on the KS paycheck and it won't matter until time to do W2's. At which time, I'd have to change it back to the correct # before I do them. My whole issue is that it's not just a matter of changing the state worked and the state wages, the W4 for each state is different and they have extra withholding on KS, one guy has 9 allowances on MO and none on KS (he's a farmer and doesn't pay much tax), and another guy has 5 kids and because of the new W4, it doesn't withhold until you've reached the threshhold, so we have to kind of finagle numbers around in order to get something withheld and they don't owe money at the end of the year. Changing the state also requires me to change the allowances and extra withholding, and doing it back and forrth each time. It would be so much easier if they would all just do single and 0 but I can't just do what I want, have to follow their W4... I guess I can create a Note that tells me what the W4 info is so I don't have to pull their form every week or write it down on paper before I change it??
Edit: I noted in one of the articles you linked to, that Desktop Assisted Payroll, that you file forms with the states? Is this something new? You've never filed W2's with either MO or KS, I've always had to create a file to upload to MO and KS I have to manually enter into their website.
