State Employment Tax Question

Factual Questions
1

I am part owner of a small business run in Ohio. We have 3 employees, all of us live and work in Ohio, and pay taxes in Ohio. We do not have an office (taxes are paid based on our “HQ” address which is also my home address). We’re an LLC and we all get regular W2’s at the end of the year, like regular everyday employees at any other company does.

One of our employees is moving to Georgia. This will not affect his position with us, his pay, his hours, etc.

Do I need to start paying some taxes in Georgia for him? (I say “I” because I do all of the books) Do I need to make changes to our Ohio and city taxes, other than changing his address?

I’ve put a call in to my accountant so he can help me with this, but I left him a voicemail asking him to call back at his leisure and now I am getting antsy wanting to know the answer.

Your employee will almost certainly be subject to Georgia employment laws, including Georgia employment and income taxes. You may also have to get a business licence from the state or locality to which he will be moving, depending on local law.

For more detailed information, you should talk to your accountant or another professional. I am not your lawyer or other professional, and any information you get off of a message board like this is no substitute for actual professional advice.

Good luck.
