A tax work location is the physical address where employees perform their job duties. If you have multiple business locations that employees work from, or remote employees working from a different state in which you have registered (or will register) for a state tax ID, you can create a tax work location for each.


To add a tax work location

  1. Log in to Fingercheck as an Administrator.

  2. Go to the SETUP tab > Payroll > Tax Work Locations.

  3. Click Add.

  4. Complete the fields in the Details and Address Information sections.

    • The Code is an abbreviated name for the location. The Description is a short descriptive name. Together, these fields make up the full name as displayed in other areas of Fingercheck.

    • The Effective Date is the date you want people to start working from the location.

    • If you want to receive a warning on step 5 (Preview Payroll) when running payroll, select the Enable Minimum Wage On Detail checkbox.

  5. Scroll down to the State Tax IDs section.

  6. If your company has a State Tax ID for the state:

    1. Click Yes.

    2. Enter the ID in the first field.

    3. Click Save.

      See State Tax Jurisdictions and Proper Formats for the correct formats.

    4. In the confirmation pop-up that appears, enter YES, and click Continue.

  7. If your company does not have a State Tax ID for the state:

    1. Click No.

    2. Click Save to continue adding the work location.

    3. In the confirmation pop-up that appears, enter YES, and click Continue.

    4. Register for a state tax ID.

      You can do this through CorpNet. A link is available on the screen. See also How to Register for a State Tax ID and State Tax Jurisdictions and Proper Formats.


    The state is automatically added to the list of tax jurisdictions under the SETUP tab > Payroll > Tax Jurisdictions.
