Set Up Local Taxes after Converting from QuickBooks
If you created a local payroll item in QuickBooks, this payroll field is 
converted to Peachtree Accounting. However, you must assign a local payroll 
tax table to ensure that the local tax is calculated during payroll entry.
QuickBooks allows you to setup two localities for each employee. Peachtree 
will only allow one locality per employee.
