Good day, userhcarol-larson.

 

I'd be glad to show you the steps on how to change the amount of extra withholding. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
  2. Click the name of the employee, then click the Pencil icon beside Pay.
  3. Go to Step2 or the part where the employee's withholding or W4 are set up, then click the Pencil icon underneath it.
  4. Change the amount in the Extra withholding field.
  5. Click Save.

 

Check out this article about managing employee details for further guidance: Edit or Change Employee Info in Payroll.

 

I'd also like to give you these articles for additional information and reference:

Whatever dollar amount I put in the extra withholding - is that extra withholding per check or annually?  I see how to do it - just want to be clear on how to enter the amount.  Thanks

My employer says they added extra withholding but I don’t see it on my paystub. Could you show an example of what it should look like? 
None of my paystubs have shown a category of additional or extra withholding.

Hello there, Alli18. I can see the importance of showing extra withholding in pay stubs.

 

Currently, displaying extra withholding as a separate line item on pay stubs is unavailable. Instead, it shows the total amount withheld without detailing specific extra lines for additional withholding.

 

If you want extra withholding shown separately, ask your employer to set up a unique deduction. Then, manually enter it during check creation or in the employee deduction section. It will allow the extra withholding amount to be shown separately on your pay stubs.

 

You can visit this article to learn more about adding deductions in QuickBooks Payroll: Set up, change, or delete employee-paid payroll deductions.

 

Additionally, QuickBooks Online allows you to generate payroll reports. It enables you to access valuable information about the business and employees.

 

Let me know if you have other questions about extra withholding and other deductions in QuickBooks. I'm always here to help. Take care.
