Hi JockJ

AccountRight 2019 allows for the user to generate a State or Territory tax report via Reports>>Payroll>>Payroll tax. Note: You would need to set up the appropriate State or Territory and select the appropriate categories to be reported via Setup>>General Payroll Information>>Set Up Payroll Tax.

In terms of the Set Up Payroll Tax, the system does only allow for one state to be selected at a time. As the Payroll tax report will report all employees in the file it will include them into the selected State or Territory for reporting, regardless of the State listed on their employee's card.

If you do have employees outside of that state, you would need to run multiple reports, such as the Payroll Register Detail report to determine what as paid to those employees for the desired period. You would then deduct those values from the Payroll tax report to determine the amount for that state. Note: This would be a manual process.

Dear MYOB Team,

This product fault has been known about for many years. Could you please let the community know if you ever plan to provide this essential functionality or not. Like many other companies we have found a way around this fault, but now we have "Upgraded" it appears our solution is also no longer available to us. Please give us all a clear answer so we can make our own plans with facts.

Thanks

  Hi PhillipG
  
  Thanks for your feedback. To recommend this function in future product deveopment, I recommend posting/voting for it on the AccountRight Ideas Exchange. While this task can still be completed per Steven's advice, your suggestion could help promote an easier way to do so.
