I use QB online Payroll.  I do not use Auto payroll so per the instructions I did not add tax-exempt pay.   My question is we do not use Auto payroll how do we see the tax exempt overtime of stubs, or paychecks lists or reports. 

Note: If you use Auto Payroll, you’ll need to follow the steps below to enter the amounts before your payroll is scheduled to run.

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Select Run Payroll
  3. From your employee list, select Actions, then Add tax-exempt pay.

Let me help you with setting up QuickBooks Payroll to track overtime pay exempt from Alabama (AL) withholding tax in QuickBooks Online (QBO), LDO.

 

Effective January 1, 2024, the pay for those extra hours is exempt from AL income tax if an hourly employee works more than 40 hours in a week. Here’s more about the state law on how to track it and report it in QuickBooks Online Payroll and QuickBooks Desktop Payroll:

 

 

We need to manually calculate the tax-exempt pay amount and add it to your employees when you create your payroll. For more details, please check out this article: Set up and track Alabama overtime exemption. If you need further assistance with the setup, please contact our Payroll Support Team.
