Since the employee was under the threshold for FICA/mc, that sounds like the right thing to do,. Then for that employee's W-2, report zero for fica/mc wages, but report the gross in box 1. ATX should then allow you to file with household employee box checked.

Well as I was waiting for a chat representative to come on, I hit update for my program on 2022 and 2022 payroll. Both updated. So I tried to send the efiles again. Got a totally red can't do it at this time message and then tried again and the efiles went. How weird is that? And they said they had no problems at their end.

I took the credit in the year installed even though the electric company didn't hook it up until January.

Of course it's not illegal to merge personal and business accounts, but it sure creates an accounting and tax audit nightmare. Was that gas fill up for the business van or the wife's car? The trip to Staples for back-to-school supplies or office copy paper? We have clients whose monthly bank statements are four single spaced pages of everything from morning coffee to bars to the occasional business website bill. Their reconciliations cost a lot because they take so much time. Also makes it impossible to tell how much money you're making or spending--should you raise prices, buy that new piece of equipment?

John, By your original post and the reference Lion gave "KPMG NOTE: Beginning September 15, 2021, employees working remotely outside of Massachusetts should have wages reported and taxes withheld to the state where they are physically performing services. Employers will want to make sure they are registered for payroll in the states their employees are working remotely, and able to handle the complexity of compliance for a mobile workforce." the MA company is reporting correctly. To add another wrinkle, you stated he travels to MA for meetings. Is he performing any services while in MA? I would indeed check with the MA DOR and if a non-resident return is required, then file it with the credit to NC for taxes paid to MA. It would appear to be small amounts here.

And at first I was thinking that cbslee wanted some "warped" emojis added!

Spoke with ATX technical support today. She says this isn't an option this year, the removed it. I asked her to pass on to the powers that be that this was a really dumb move on their part and is wasting our time.

OP said that only 26 days were work performed in MA. Still need a MA non resident return but only for 26/280 days.
