401k Compensation Calculation

We have a 401k with safe harbor matching contributions. Our plan is set up for deferrals and matches to be calculated on adjusted gross income (as shown on the payroll summary, after pre-tax health, dental, vision, etc) but our payroll items for the 401k deferrals and match, calculate on the gross income of the employee. Is there a fix for this?

 

Appreciate any guidance!

I noticed a similar question about consolidating your 401k was also asked in another thread recently, @readytoretire.

 

I can share a direct link to that conversation where my colleague provided a detailed response: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/employees-and-payroll/re-safe-harbor-401k-er-match/01/1451744#M129273
