State Payroll Tax Information

Companies with total monthly wage costs exceeding certain amounts may need to make payroll tax payments to the revenue office in the state in which the employees work. The thresholds and percentages, which vary between states, are often adjusted each year. Typically state payroll tax liabilities apply to medium to large businesses because of the thresholds set by each state. QuickBooks provides tools which may assist you in calculating your payroll tax liability. These tools take the form of the following reports:

  • State Payroll Tax Report - Summary
  • State Payroll Tax Report - Detail
The figures appearing in these reports depend upon how the payroll items and employees are set up. The figures include amounts paid via those payroll items which have been selected for state payroll tax and to employees who are selected for payroll tax calculations. These amounts are then subject to the thresholds and percentages applicable to the state in which the employee works. There are many factors which affect the calculation of state payroll tax liabilities and there would often be a reason to export the report to Excel and make various additions and deductions that are relevant to how your business operates. For information on the current thresholds and rates, follow the links shown in the table below:
