How do I correct a deduction from pre-taxed to post-taxed after I have already did payroll?

I’m glad to see you in the Community, laney1.

I can see the importance of having accurate payroll records. This ensures your taxes and forms have the correct information.

We’ll have to go to the Other Liability & Asset Accounts section and select the post-tax account for your deduction item. It only takes a few clicks to get there.

Here’s how:

1. Tap the Gear icon in the upper right and choose Payroll settings under Your Company.
2. This action will take you to the Preferences page.
3. From there, go to the Preferences section and click the Accounting link to open the Accounting Preferences screen.
4. Navigate to the Other Liability & Asset Accounts section to enter the post-tax account for the payroll item.
5. If you wish to apply the changes to past transactions, set the correct date in the Want to update existing transactions, too? section.
6. Click OK to close the screen.

After setting up everything, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. One of our specialists will perform a payroll correction. Then make sure your federal and state tax with holdings have the right data.

For additional resources, the following links provide an overview on how to map your payroll account, view or edit your current payroll preferences. You’ll also see the list of pay types and deductions supported in the online program.
