Example the Federal Withholding I am currently using Quickbooks manually payroll in the Caribbean on Premier Edition 2020. Can we remove this off the paystub we are not in the US?

Hello there, @Nolly.

 

Allow me to provide insights about deleting a payroll item list in QuickBooks.

 

If you're using manual payroll, you can exclude the Federal Withholding when creating a paycheck since taxes are manually entered. 

 

You can't, however, delete it if you don't want it to appear on the paystub.

 

 

 

You can instead set it inactive. Here's how to do it:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu. Then select Payroll Item List.
  2. Locate Federal Withholding from the list. Then right-click and select Edit Payroll Item.
  3. Tick the box for Payroll item is inactive.
  4. Click Next then, Next.
  5. Click Finish.

That should prevent Federal Withholding from showing on paystubs.
