    🚨 As an extra precaution GoCo advises employees to notify their HR/Payroll when they move to ensure HR knows of address changes as it could mean updating local withholdings.

It is not uncommon for employees to have tax withholding in multiple states. If you find yourself in this situation complete the following steps. 

  • Review your Contact Information and ensure that your resident state is correct.
  • Review your Employment Info and check that your work location is accurately reflected.
