How do I update my company tax information in Zenefits Payroll?
To update state and federal tax information in Zenefits Payroll, e.g., enter or change withholding or unemployment account IDs or rates, click the Payroll app, then Settings, and finally Taxes. Make sure to always keep the tax information current, especially when hiring a new employee in a new state, or when an existing employee moves their work or home residence to a new state.
