I spoke with quickbooks and they said I can't because hadn't received a paycheck for a few weeks prior to getting disability, obviously he was in the hospital.  He starting getting short term disability about 3-4 weeks after his last check, and I need these payments to show on his W2 so how do I do that if I can't add him back into payroll?

I can share some information about disability retirement payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @carlsonang.

 

This Short Term Disability is subject to federal withholding, social security, Medicare, and federal unemployment. State unemployment and state withholding taxability vary by state.

 

At this time, the option to enter this disability payment to QBO is currently unavailable. You can ask your accountant for help on how to process the W-2 outside of QBO.

 

For more information about short-term disability and system limitations in QBO, check out this article: Third-party sick pay.

 

To guide you on how to report health insurance you offer or reimburse to your employees on their W-2s, see this article: Report employer health insurance on W-2s.
