When you enter tax allowances for employees in Arkansas, there are state filing options that need to be entered for each employee.  For new customers adding employees in the wizard, these are found under the Tax Information page for the employee.  For employees added after you complete the wizard, you will be prompted to enter their tax information under:

Payroll > Employees > Employee List > Click the Employee Name > Taxes > Edit
These fields are under the “State and Local Withholding” section.

Texarkana Resident: If the employee resides in the city of Texarkana, Arkansas, choose Yes.  Texarkana, Arkansas residents do not have income tax withheld.  For more information about the taxation of Texarkana residents, see the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration Texarkana Exemption Letter.
