A workplace is a location where your employees work. Work done there is taxed by that state and locality.

An employee's home address still sets their resident taxes.

If you add a workplace in a new state, you may need to register with that state.

You add and manage workplaces on the Workplaces page.

Give each employee a primary workplace before you review a payroll that includes them. Until you do, Freedom asks you to assign one before you can review that payroll.

Contractors don't need a workplace.

For an employee who works from home, use their home address as their workplace.

If a state agency or an insurer asks for your business address in that state, for example on a workers' compensation application, use that employee's home address.

Each earning on a payroll needs the workplace where that work was done. The workplace decides which state and local taxes apply to the earning.

An employee can have a primary workplace and additional workplaces.

When you edit a payroll, check the "Workplace" on each earning before you approve it. Choose the workplace where the employee did that work.

Deactivate a workplace when no one works there anymore, or when you no longer want a tax presence in that state.

If it is your last active workplace in a state, deactivating it ends your company's tax presence in that state.

You can't deactivate a workplace while active or starting-soon employees are assigned to it. Remove it from their profiles first.

After you deactivate it, no one can be assigned there. Past payrolls still show it.

You can reactivate a workplace anytime.
