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


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.

    1. The Code is an abbreviated name for the location.

    2. The Description is a short, descriptive name. Together, these fields make up the full name as displayed in other areas of Fingercheck.

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

    4. If you want to receive a warning during payroll processing on step 5, Preview 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.

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