How to add a new state
- Go to Company.

- Under State Taxes section, click the “Add A State” button.
- In the Add a State process, select your state from the dropdown.
- Follow the steps in the process.
- Once we have the signed POA or Form 8655, your state will be setup and ready to use!
Power of Attorney (POA) Forms
If your state requires a signed Power of Attorney (POA) form, you’ll be asked to sign one electronically with DocuSign.
- If your state doesn’t accept electronic signature, you’ll be asked to download and print the documents and physically sign them with a pen.
- Some states also require a notary be present. Please read your document carefully to see if this applies to your state.
- Some states require a Form 8655 in place of a POA. We’ll let you know if this is the case for your state.
To submit a signed POA, go to Help - Contact Us and upload the file.
Local Taxes
When adding an address to an employee’s profile, you may have to enter Local Tax info for that state. If your Local Tax is wrong, reach out to customer care.
