Payroll Setup Wizard - Enter Company Information

How Do I...

Here you can enter basic payroll information for your company, such as your Employer ID numbers and the state in which you pay most of your employees.

Entering basic payroll information

Enter your federal and state employer ID. Contact each tax agency if you don't have your ID number.
Enter or select from the drop-down list the state abbreviation for the primary state in which your employees work.
Enter your state unemployment ID and rate for unemployment insurance. (Rate is the rate the company pays.)
If there is a tax associated with your state, a field will display where you can enter the rate for that tax. (Not all state taxes may be supported.)
Select Yes to create payroll amounts for Meals and Tips that the company provides to the employees.
By default, the Tips and Meals are logged for reporting and tax calculations, but no entry is posted to the general ledger.
