Can I set up a pre tax health insurance deduction when amounts deducted vary by employee?

I'm here to help you set up pre-tax health insurance deductions for your employees in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP), aembrey.

In QBO, we can go to the Payroll menu and set up pre-tax health insurance deductions for your employees.

Here's how:

1. Navigate to Payroll, access the Employees tab, and click Add an Employee.
2. Within Deductions & Contributions, choose to Start or Edit.
3. Click on the + Add Deduction/Contribution option.
4. From the dropdown menu, select the following:
   • Deduction/contribution: Add deduction/contribution
   • Deduction/contribution type: Health insurance
   • Type: Select Medical Insurance, Vision Insurance, or Dental Insurance. If you're setting up a pre-tax item not listed like commuter benefit, AFLAC accident or cancer, etc, select Vision Insurance.
5. Enter the provider's name in the Description field (which will be displayed on the paycheck).
6. Choose the calculation method for your deduction, and input the specific amount or percentage per paycheck.
7. Select Pre-tax insurance premium or Taxable insurance premium.
8. If you contribute a matching contribution, add an amount or percent per paycheck for the company contribution.
9. Once completed, click on Save and then Done.
