I'm setting up an
Detail of payroll expense and liability accounts
Answers
All of the needed state detail is managed by NetSuite and always accessible through NetSuite reports. However, from a company overview of financials I split out Employer Paid Benefits and Employer Paid Taxes. The tax rate is fixed and the benefits is not as it is up for review each year.
One account for all payroll tax liabilities. What's the advantage of having one for each state? And more than one GL account for each type of liability? Unless a state has several highly unique payroll taxes, then don't segregate. But also to be consider how many locations your org does business out of 4 or 20? If it is many, than yes, capture each state as you would with sales tax.
