For example, client reporting states can add an extra layer of confusion to the payroll and reporting process. When you’re on a PEO, there are two types of payroll reporting: client reporting states and PEO reporting states.

In these states, you do not file under the PEO’s payroll tax accounts, and your company will have to handle any corporate tax filings or business registrations.
