Year end: Employees with more than two local taxes

When you prepare employees' W-2s, QuickBooks Online Payroll automatically enters W-2 codes for local taxes. The local codes appear in boxes 18 - 20 on the W-2 form.

If an employee has had more than two local taxes withheld during the year, QuickBooks Online Payroll generates a second page of W-2s for those specific employees. The second page shows only the employee information, the employer information, and the local taxes (not the federal or state tax information).

What if I need to change the local tax codes?

1. Click your company name at the top right, and then click Payroll Settings.
2. Click Tax Setup.
3. On the Tax Setup Overview page, click the name of the state for which you want to change local tax codes.
4. Click Change or add new rate.
5. Enter the new rate and effective date.
6. Click OK.
