When I first put the deduction in for his vehicle repairs,we did not have a final bill yet. I knew it would be around a certain amount so I made a deduction with the "Maximum" amount just under the total we guessed, so it wouldn't takeout over that amount. I have received the final invoice and I need to adjust the "deduction maximum" to reflect the total invoice. Also, I need to know how much he has paid towards the balance due .

I’ve got you covered, @info112.


You can simply go to your Payroll menu and then edit your employee's existing deduction from there. Here are the steps to do that:

 

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Payroll menu, then click Employees.
  3. Select the employee’s name.
  4. Click the Pencil icon beside Pay.
  5. Under Does this employee have any deductions?, select the + Add/edit deductions option.
  6. Select the Pencil icon next to the deduction you want to edit.
  7. Make any necessary changes.
  8. Press Save, then Done.


Concerning the amount he paid towards the balance due, you can run the Payroll Deductions/Contributions report. This report shows employees' total deductions and the company's contributions.


Here’s how:

 

  1. Select the Reports menu.
  2. Enter/select Payroll Deductions/Contributions.
  3. Filter the date and the type of deduction you want to track.
  4. Press Run Report.


You can check this reference to learn more about payroll reports and their additional features: Run payroll reports.


And if in case you want to keep the same report settings for future use, you can also memorize the report. It helps you access the information quickly to save time.
