Hi there, @joanmar.

 

I'll help update your employee's payroll information in QuickBooks Online so you enter a new deduction item.

 

You can change an employee's payroll information by updating the corresponding setup to enter a new deduction item. This way, it'll automatically deduct the amount of taxes to withhold once you create a paycheck. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Go to Workers and select Employees.
  2. Find and open the profile of your employee in question.
  3. Under your employee name, click Edit employee.
  4. On the Pay tab, go to box 5.
  5. Click Add a new deduction.
  6. Select Deduction/Contribution.
  7. Under Type, choose the best option which describes the new deduction item
  8. Choose how you wanted to display this deduction on your employee's paycheck.
  9. Select Save.
  10. Click Done.
