[BCB:1:Backup warning:ECB]


Note: This employee will need two separate employee records one for each state.

Section 1: Create a new employee record

  1. Open Sage 50—U.S. Edition and your company
  2. Select Maintain, and then select Employees/Sales Reps
  3. Enter the original Employee ID but add the number "2" to the end or the state abbreviation
  4. Fill out the employee record with the information from the 2nd state
  5. Click Save

Section 2: Notes and Tips

  • You will need to clear Use Defaults box for FUTA for the state the employee uses the least
  • At the end of the year, you will need to manually adjust the 940 Tax Form
  • You will have to manually check the Taxable Gross Wages if this employee makes over the FICA limit amount
  • If the combined total of both employee records exceeds these limits, there will be additional taxes taken out of their paycheck (and the company) that are in error
