If you are setting up a company to support Multi-State Employees, you need to know the following information.
We only support the multi-state function on the company level. An example is you can have employees living and or working in different states but no single employee can work in more than one state in the year.
You will need a method to select your employees for reports by state. To do this, when setting up your employees, use the employee codes to help you in selecting the employees for reporting. An example is to use employee codes like this:
Employees working in Illinois would be IL-0001, IL-0002, etc.
Employees working in Oregon would be OR-0001, WI-0002, etc.
And example of an Oregon Employee:
Then to select your employees by state when printing reports, you would uncheck the All Employees checkbox as seen here:
Then click the small drop list button to select the start record like seen above and then select the employee to start with like seen below.
Repeat for the stop record which in our case for Illinois would be the IL-0004 record seen above. Then print your report.
The Employer Totals Report has a feature where you can select by State as seen below. Select the State and check the Filter by State checkbox.
At the end of the year, be sure to enter the state tax ID's into the State Tax Records under Tools and then State Tax Table as it is needed for the W Forms. When you open the State Tax records used for the employees in the different states, enters your state tax ID as shown below.
