Hello, riskybusinessbg-.

 

I'd like to barge in and give some details on Box 8 in the W-2 form in QuickBooks. 

 

Allocated Tips isn't supported in QuickBooks Online Payroll yet. As of now, only Gratuities are supported as a pay type in the program. These will be reported in Boxes 1, 5 and 7. 

 

If you need a guide on the supported pay types and how they reflect on your W-2 form, you can check this article: Supported pay types and deductions explained.

 

If your employees received allocated tips, our payroll support can override the W-2 form and enter an adjustment for Box 8. You'll want to contact our support to begin the process: 

 

  1. Click the Help menu. 
  2. On the list of preset options, select Talk to a human
  3. When asked, enter the error message or simply type "Talk to a human" again. 
  4. Click the I still need a human, then proceed with the Get help from a human link. 
  5. Choose how you want to reach us. 

 

Need to check your employees' current payroll liabilities, numbers and other data? You can use the Reports feature to pull up different payroll reports

 

If you have more questions for the W-2 form and how it is handled in QuickBooks, please don't hesitate to reply below. I'll also lend a hand if you have concerns with other processes and tasks.
