I've got your back, @rensberger.
Yes, you're right. Since QuickBooks doesn't allows you to assign multiple states under an employee profile, you'll have to process it manually. This means that you need to switch the states manually the moment you create payroll for the employee's working hours.
Firstly, you'll want to change the state of your employee's profile. Here's how:
- Go to the Employees menu, then select Employee center.
- Open the employee's profile.
- Go to the Payroll Info tab and click Taxes.
- Choose the State tab and select the state you will be processing payroll.
- Do this for State Worked and State Subject to Withholding fields.
- Click OK once done.
After changing the employee's state, the system will use the assigned state to calculate taxes when you process payroll.
